changing the first occurrence only of a string in a line
How would you do the following in Rev? We have a file consisting of records with tab separated fields. Each field has a tag followed by contents. Some tags occur more than once in some records which thus have varying numbers of fields. Duplicates are always consecutive. I want to eliminate all the occurrences of any tag except the first one. The duplicate tags can occur any place in the record, but if they are duplicated, will always be consecutive. Doing this in SED is not particularly difficult, but it does require going out to shell, and so its not cross platform. You just change the tag using the local scope to something else. SED then only changes the first occurrence in a record. Then you use the global scope and change all of them. Then you go back and change the first one back to what it was. In fact, if using SED like this, the only thing you need it for is to do the local, first tag, change - once this is done, the rest can be done in Rev. But it would be nice to stay in Rev for the whole thing. Is there a way in Rev to pick the first occurence of a string in a record, change it and not subsequent occurences, and then move on to the next record and do the same thing? That is, mimic the 'local' editing mode of SED? Bet you all thought them dinosaurs like SED had to be extinct by now! But no, they are still trampling around in the swamps of text manipulation For the sake of clarity, a record might look like this: A aa TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB C cc TAB D dd TAB D dd and what is wanted is to change the first occurrence of B to, for example !1, and the first occurence of D to, for example !2, or anyway something that will not occur by chance, to allow the subsequent editing to work globally on the file. This is what SED does in local mode.

Accessing Google Spreadsheets with RunRev
Folks, Has anyone had success in accessing cell data with google docs from within your scripts? I've researched Googles API reference URL (fairly straightforward) and here is their reference format for 'Cell-based feed': http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/key/worksheetId/visibility/projection/cellId Here's my simple script: on mouseup put URL "http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/rXtefVGMQhHdB4U2saE2Qxw/1/public/basic/R1C1"; into cd fld "data" end mouseup I wish to get the test data in cell A1 (which is "120") into cd fld "data" but I get a long response. If I get this right I plan to extract other data from spreadsheets I use for my company. I think I have the formatting close to correct because if I change any of it, I get an error msg instead of the loang response (which I intentioally left out of this email). Has anyone tried to access google spreadsheets using their API's?

Using dateItems solves all these problems for you, try this in your message box: put the date into startDate convert startDate to dateitems add 1 to item 1 of startDate --year item add 24 to item 2 of startDate --month item add 1095 to item 3 of startDate --day item convert startDate to long date put startDate Basically it adds 1 year to the current date using years, then 2 years using months, then three years using days. You can also use hours ( item 4), minutes (item 5) or seconds (item 6). It doesn't matter, so if you want to know the date and time 3000 hours from now, you can just by adding 3000 to item 4 and Rev will figure out how many days in each of the intervening months and do all the hard work for you :-) If you add 3000 to item 3 (days) Rev will figure out all the leap year stuff for you. Not sure how accurate it is with Centenial and Millenial stuff but if you add 3000 to item 1 it does give an answer. It also automatically figures out the day of the week for you :-) HTH ___ 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: Best practice: how to write local plugin functions for library handlers?
David, I don't know if I really understood the problem so pardon me if I give you a non-solution. When I don't know in advance what functions I will be calling during runtime, I usually do the following. First I create a global array with elements which are also arrays, this stored elements have the following keys: name - a generic name for a given function, it need not be tied to the function real name. method - the real function/handler name of a given function or handler type - if it is a function or a handler/command target - a long id to the function/handler is available. so a hello world might look like this: myHelloA["name"] = "helloworld" myHelloA["method"] = "mySweetHelloWorld" myHelloA["type"] = "command" myHelloA["target"] = "stack "hello.rev"" With an array of such elements, I have a dictionary of available functions. If you loops this array you can depending on the type, assemble a dispatch or a value call. So to add more tests, you just add more elements to the global storage array. I use a similar code in my xmlrpc server and it works fine. Generating code chunks at runtime and executing them might be easier to maintain than a catch all code. I like generating code at runtime. If you're only executing inside the IDE then you don't need "do", you can create a temp stack, set the script of it to your runtime generated piece and call it. No penalty there. Hope this helps andre On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 8:07 AM, David Bovill wrote: > Say we have a complex, but generally useful handler that loops through a > lot > of things, and want to call a function on each element found.

Best practice: how to write local plugin functions for library handlers?
Say we have a complex, but generally useful handler that loops through a lot
of things, and want to call a function on each element found. For example it
may be a "search" function that loops through all objects in a stack, or a
"process' function that loops through certain nodes in an XML file. Now
there may be all sorts of "test functions" that we would like to call during
this search - the question is how to structure the library handler and be
able to call custom test functions / handlers in the local script you are
working on?
I've no real elegant way of doing this in Rev. The best I can think of is to
get the library handler to call out to the script that the local handler is
in, and allow the scripter to define a local function there. To make the
example concrete using some pseudoCode, lets say we have a function in a
library called "stack_SearchAllScripts" and we have a local search button in
another stack that is going to call this function to search scripts in a
given stack for the phrase "Hello World". So we have something that looks
like (in simplified pseudo code):
Library Stack Script
> -
>
> function stack_SearchAllScripts stackName, pluginFunctionName
> put the long id of the target into callingObject
> repeat for each line testObject in allStackObjects
> if the script_ContainsHello [testObject] of callingObject is true

> put stack_SearchAllScripts ("Test", "script_ContainsHello")
> end mouseUp
>
> getprop script_ContainsHello [testObject]
> return the script of testObject contains "Hello World"
> end script_ContainsHello
I find it more elegant and faster to use "getprop handlers" than "send" or
"dispatch" - especially for functions that you want to return results, but
whichever way you choose, it is still ugly though - especially if you start
to get fussy about really determining which object "called" the library
handler. That is because the "calling object" is not the same as the target,
and you need to use a handler like this:
function script_CallingObject
>put line -3 of the executioncontexts into callingObject
>delete item 2 to -1 of callingObject
>return callingObject
> end script_CallingObject
>
With all of Rev's built in ability to send messages around in various ways,
it seems to me that there may be a more elegant way of writing these sorts
of library handlers that you can effectively plug in smaller function tests
into. I don"t want to use "do" for speed reasons as you want to search
through hundreds of items as fast as possible. Does anyone have a neat way
of doing this?
