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.

Re: changing the first occurrence only of a string in a line
Peter, given the sample you provide, I believe this will work: on mouseUp put A aa TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB C cc TAB D dd TAB D dd cr after tData put A aa TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB B bb TAB C cc TAB D dd TAB D dd cr after tData --replace TAB with tab in tData put B 1! cr after tSubs put C 2! cr after tSubs set the wholematches to true repeat for each line tLine in tSubs put word 1 of tLine into tFind put word 2 of tLine into tSubstitute put wordoffset(tFind,tData) into tFoundPos if tFoundPos 0 then put tSubstitute into word tFoundPos of tData end if end repeat put tData end mouseUp However, one of the frustrating things about Rev is that the PCRE engine behind replaceText and matchText is so poorly documented. For example, replaceText can have its functionality altered by the inclusion of modifiers such as (?i) for case insensitive and (?m) for multiline. There are other modifiers (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php) some of which are unacceptable, and others that seem to be acceptable. Nowhere have I found these documented with regard to Rev. The (?A) anchored modifier (if it was one of the acceptable tokens) may have worked in your case, but it is apparently unnaceptable. Really you ought to just be able to take your SED expressions and use them with replaceText, as SED expressions are regex AFAIK. There may be some differences between SED and pcre, but since the differences between pcre and Rev are not documented it is vexatious.

Re: sorting advice
Hi Nicolas, Custom sort functions to the rescue! I made a simple stack with 2 fields and a button. The first field contains your original data, and the button has the following script: ## on mouseUp put field 1 into tData sort tData ascending by MyCustomSort(each) put tData into field 2 end mouseUp function MyCustomSort pLine set the itemDelimiter to space put item 2 of pLine into tDate replace .. with / in tDate convert tDate from english date to dateItems set the itemDelimiter to comma put format(%4u%02u%02u, \ item 1 of tDate, \ item 2 of tDate, \ item 3 of tDate) into tSortableDate return tSortableDate end MyCustomSort ## Clicking the button produced the expected results in field 2. The trick is to return from your function a value that will sort the content correctly. In this case, the function will turn 12.3.09 into 20091203, 3.2.04 into 20040302, etc. And those 'MMDD' versions of the date will sort correctly.

Re: Best practice: how to write local plugin functions for library handlers?
Thanks Andre - good to know someone else likes indexing code and dynamically generating it - you can do great things coupling that with introspection. I don't think that helps with the aim here which is minimal scripting effort - equivalent to calling a normal library function, but one you can customise with your own local test functions. I've simplified it a bit and got rid of the call to executioncontexts I was using: function script_CallingObject return item 1 of line -3 of the executioncontexts end script_CallingObject and pass the long id of me to the library function if the default target won't do. I'm using getprop handlers in the local script as I prefer the simplicity of the syntax and speed. I'll take a look at the XmlRpc server code though - have you got a link to the latest version? - are you using an array to define the xmlrpc call and passing that to the library handlers? - think that is a great technique as you get named params where the order no longer matters and avoid huge lists of params. 2009/6/18 Andre Garzia an...@andregarzia.com 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 da...@architex.tv 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. 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? -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ 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 ___ 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

XML name spaces
Shameless plug for votes for this bug report: While the xmlns issue is fixed we still can't use the common and basic name spaces in attributes. Take this RSS example and try it in the message box: get ?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?rss version='2.0' xmlns:atom=' http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:content=' http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/'channel/channel/rss put revCreateXMLTree(it, true, true, false) into treeID put revXMLAttributes(treeID, rss, tab, CR) Only one value for xmlns is returned.

Rev Internet Lib reads wrong registry keys for proxy settings
Hello, some time ago I opened a thread, where my http requests didn't got an internet connection with different proxy errors and timeouts at some Win customers of mine, especially a school. After weeks of research the admin of the school found the problem. The rev internet library reads the proxy informations out of the HKCU user keys and not as most other programs from the HKLM machine keys. Because a school keeps all of these datas of their group policy in the HKLM keys, my rev program doesn't finds the internet. And I had to agree, that it doesn't makes sense to define proxy informations per user and not per machine. I have searched the QCC but didn't found anything comparable. Either used the wrong search keys or there isn't a case yet. Has anybody ever encountered a similar problem? Would you say this is a logical bug in rev or am I wrong in my research conclusion?

Re: Windows 7 - any experiences?
Bill, I think you can set the UI of Windows 7 to use XP theme or whatever they call it.

I recently built an Intel Core i7 machine with 6GB of RAM, so I've been trying to decide on a 64-bit operating system. I liked Windows 7 a lot. Much snappier than Windows Vista. Lots of updated drivers. A smarter UAC. I would probably use it except for two problems: 1) I prefer the Vista/XP task bar. And 2) there is no upgrade path from RC1 to the shipping version of Windows 7; you will have to do a clean install when it ships.

EduTainment Titles
With the advent of Rev Stacks running inside a browser, there is interest here in our shop with the idea of doing educational stackware. The perception that such titles by CD would probably never do well compared to a) distributing printed materials b) PDF's of the same c) Some Browser app led to us never putting any energy into educational stackware. The run a stack in a browser changes the equation, big time. I'm interested in purchasing some existing well done eduware done in Revolution, either by downloads or on CD's as studies of examples. I should add that since the team here is somewhat advanced in terms of graphic design, the first impression based on the eye candy factor of your titles will be pretty high...with gorgeous GUI will fly better (= the Scott Rossi Factor). But simple is also fine. Please contact me off list with any titles and points of purchase, edu-tainment (games that teach) are also OK.

Engine Search tool
I'm trying to start using Rev Online more for the little tools I build, so... I just uploaded a Rev Engine Search tool (suitable as plugin). This tool lets you search the Revolution engine itself for any string that exists in the Rev engine itself. It's for people like me who enjoy snooping. For example, if you want to know all the Rev vocabulary terms (documented or not) containing trace, type trace (without quotes) into the search field and press Enter. The search results will be displayed in the Results list field. The latest version includes a filter to remove list entries that begin with _ (reduces clutter). -- Phil Davis PDS Labs Professional Software Development http://pdslabs.net ___ 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

Please explain further. Using the data you provided I got exactly the same result you wanted as specified in your first post! If you got the right result for your example, but a different result with different data then could you provide examples of where the sort goes wrong so I can see how to account for the different data. On the other hand, if using the data you supplied you get a different answer to the one you supplied then there must be a bug somewhere. Why would my system correctly sort by dateTime and yours not. If this is the case then either it's a bug with Rev, and should be reported, or a 'feature' of Rev which needs to be noted; ie, on particular operating systems with particular system languages the sort by dateTime may not work. So we need to know why your sort doesn't work Thanks ___ 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

I've also proposed in the past that this helper application/Player, just like iTunes only comes from Apple, (Real Player from Real, Flash from Adobe etc.) be available from an official RunRev site. I can see security issues being of some concern, obviously, but if Apple and Adobe can do it, why not RunRev in Edinburgh? With the widespread sterotypical perception of the strodgy conservatism of UK, trust factor for a product from Edinborough will be very high (smile) vs. every Tom, Dick US Cowboy and Cowgirl Revolution programmer offering their own helper app. Just kidding.. but you get the point. ___ 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
