Re: rev cgi - put url read from
Hi Jim, Usually, I use open/read/close file, because it gives me more control over the size of the chunks to be read. This allows be to create a very smooth user experience. I never checked it, but I presume that libUrl uses the same read/write/ close file commands to deal with local files, while it uses socket communication for non-local files. If I am right, issueing the read command yourself is a tiny fraction of an i'th of a millisecond faster than using the put url command. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Is open-read-close the best way or is there some other means of putting a file into a variable (I already use custom properties in the stack for storing files and using them but am experimenting with the cgi stack grabbing files for use). sims ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: rev cgi - put url read from
Hi Dave, Thanks for interfering. I've read the docs once more and now I see that you're right. The form put URL file:... doesn't need libUrl. Sims, this means that the put command might be slightly faster than open/read/close. I don't think it matters much though. I'd worry more about the blocking nature of the put command. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Dutch forum: http://runrev.info/rrforum/ Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Re: rev cgi - put url read from
Ciao Sims, there's no libURL in the CGI engines, did you copied libURL yourself to your CGI? If you didn't then you can't use url calls. The trick is to use a shell() call to the command curl that is bundled with almost all linuxes to do the url calls. I've put my little RocketsCURL.Rev library available to you at http://andregarzia.com/RocketsCURL.rev.zip The library allows you to do some pretty nice URL stuff like resume downloads and the like. :-D You can check about curl my doing a man curl in the terminal or by checking their homepage at http://curl.haxx.se/ A alternative to using curl is the use of wget and wput shell commands. Curl has more options and is more standard, some places don't have wput in place only wget.

put toad into myArray[green]
return myArray
end yourFunction
put yourFunction() into Array
combine array with return and tab
put Array

To get the number of elements in an array:
number of lines in myArray
even better ( I love this one - think binary):
repeat for each line tKey in the keys of tArray
put tArray[tKey] return after tArrayContents
end repeat
to sort:
put the keys of myArray into myVariable
sort lines of myVariable
I'm having trouble sorting this out. I have a function that searches through
lines of tab delimited text. The number of lines varies from one to ten. The
result from the search is two things. A data element and a pointer that says
which kind of data element. Sometimes the result is one data element and one
pointer and sometimes the result is another quantity like three data

Re: returning result from a function when the number of items in the result varies
HEY! that's not fair to the arrays. :) They REALLY are useful and amazing. Honestly, once you have you're aha moment you'll understand it. Your code is working as expected. For now, Just imagine the array to be a package of little ordinary variables that can be easily manipulated. put array into fld output-- won't be seen You can't see an array when put it - it's still there but you can't put it into anything except another array (or save it as a custom property) put array into array2 set the customproperty[myarray] of this stack to array If you want to see the elements you gotta take it apart. combine does that. combine with return and tab which turns the array into a single text string or the repeat for each line tKey in the keys of array put tKey return after tOut end repeat put tOut for some reason in my function if I say return myArray then I get an array with zero lines even when that is not true. If I say return myArray[1] (where 1 is one of the keys which has data in the array) then it does return that correctly but just with that one line of course. This is why I hate arrays.

If I say return myArray[1] (where 1 is one of the keys which has data in the array) then it does return that correctly but just with that one line of course. This is why I hate arrays. It is not working like I expected. Then maybe just consider a simple delimited list instead. Arrays are way cool for a great many things, but they're not the answer to every problem. Your data set is small enough that the specific operations that arrays excel at will have no noticeable performance difference doing them with a simple list. Extra bonus points for lists in your case: you can simply put the variable into a field, without having to run it through the combine command first. For small data sets performance won't matter much either way. But for large collections of things, the split and combine commands are very computationally expensive. Because they're effectively parsing and delimiting the data entire set, they're really only doing what you can do yourself with repeat for each but without the extra step. For random access of specific elements, the efficient internal hashed representation of keys makes accessing array elements several orders of magnitude faster than any method for finding lines in a list. But if you're not doing frequent random access the tradeoffs become the sort of thing where there is no best answer, it really depends on what you're doing. In your case your data set is small, so you have the luxury of doing whatever feels most comfortable.

show stopper with 3.0
Help! Anyone, I've been working all week with 3.0 to finalize an app that I started under 2.8. No problems most of the time. THEN... I created a standalone OSX version. First time through it worked fine. Then I started cleaning up a few minor items. Not sure exactly when it happened the first time, but finally the standalone went all the way through to the point where it said it was successfully created, but on opening the standalone none of the images were there, and the app was only 9 MB instead of the 17 or so that it had been when everything was there. While it was being created the routine, in so far as what appeared on the screen, varied. Upshot is that I cannot create a viable standalone at this time. Is there some kind of file that I need to trash, or should I just do a new 3.0 install? I'm in the stretch run and need to do something. I suppose I could go back to 2.9 and, in fact, that is what I'm going to do right now. Keep your collective fingers crossed.

Re: show stopper with 3.0 Eureka!
It was simple, but very obscure. Fortunately, I remembered recently having checked a box for Brushes on the General page of the Standalone Application settings. As soon as I unchecked that and rebuilt (with 3.0), everything was back and good again. Someone better check that out quickly.

My objective is to build 5 pages to print in the repeat loop and send them to the printer while go out for coffee. How is that done? So far, all I can handle is the coffee part. Just surround your repeat loop with open printing and close printing commands: open printing -- tell the engine to expect a print job repeat with i = 1 to 5 put cr cr cr i into field 1 print this card from 142, 30 to 681,556 -- adds to the print job end repeat close printing -- sends the whole batch to the printer as one job This way you only have to click Print once, though you'll need to wait for the repeat loop to finish before you see a print dialog. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com Thanks Jacque.

Anyone else having this problem? Command/Shift - does not uncommnent the selected lines as in RR 2.x, at least on the Mac.

You may have to add print break at the bottom of your repeat loop. That forces the printer to start a new page.

Re: RESTRAINING THE PENCIL IN REV

I'm trying to import or paste painted lines from Appleworks or some other app that does constrain pencil drawing onto a Rev card. I did it with drawings from McDraft that were originally resedit resources, but haven't had much success with this - yet! (smile) Actually, Joe, there is a line tool on the paint tools palette. It may not be obvious because it shares a button with the freehand line (AKA curve) tool. Just click down and hold on that tool and an option menu should pop up letting you choose between the line and freehand line tools. Hold down the shift key while drawing to constrain it, as Mark mentioned.
