That's interesting.  I posited in one bug report that I thought that
the look up to the documentation might be the cause of the impossibly
slow movement via arrow keys in the Script Editor.

http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8495

There are other issues with dramatic loss of performance in Rev on
Linux to do with field display:

http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8513

I tried to use MetaCard on Linux late last year, but just couldn't get
used to it.  I guess I'm dependent on the added value that Runrev have
provided.

Can I just clarify your problem?  You want to be able to search for
phrases (partial sentences, possibly with boolean logic) inside the
text stored in the xml nodes of the article, once the article is found
in the index?

Re: Properly formatted large numbers

[Terry Judd]

Can you have two columns - one formatted, one not - and somehow apply the
sort to the unformatted column. I guess the unformatted column would have to
be of invisible and you'd need to have some way of trapping the selection of
the column header. You might need Trevor's help there.

RE: Problem Updating mySQL Record

[Jim Bufalini]

Hi Andrew,

It's difficult to look at long code in an email especially when lines are
wrapped. So you may want to make available a sample stack that contains
enough code that demonstrates what isn't working for download (don't try to
attach it to an email to this list). In this case it should also have the
schema of the DB. Also, for me to really look at code, I like to see
explicit variable declaration (my preference). But, just looking through the
below (and I assume you copied this right out of your editor) there are a
couple of anomalies that I see:

1. *if tCropSharePercent is empty then put "N/A" into tCropSharePercent* Is
this column typed as numeric in your DB schema?

2. *put "tleasepayments" into pTable* Shouldn't this be the opposite? 

3. Your construction of pSetQuery and pConditions together with the comment
lines are difficult to read in this email. Try using the *format* command
and "wrap" your lines using the "\" char, even in a stack script. This will
allow more people to easily read, jump in, and pick up on what may be the
problem and you will get the answer you need from this list a lot quicker.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

go card in revLet

[Thomas McGrath III]

I have been building a revlet as a proof of concept. It worked great and as I 
put more features into it I have run into the 'go card' problem.

The thing is if I have a series of commands running and click the next card 
button then it waits until the commands are done and will go to the card, but 
if I wait until the series of commands are done and then click the next card 
button it immediately crashes the browser, every time.

I do have a splash screen that loads , waits, and then goes to the next card 
and it doesn't crash. but any subsequent GO commands crash.

What are the other issues that people are having with the GO command??? I would 
like to either track this down or find a workaround.

Properly formatted large numbers

[Michael Lew]

Dear Listers

I'm working on some statistical simulations and regularly get output numbers
with anything from 1 to 7 digits. They are hard to read when they don't have
the conventional commas separating the thousands and millions. I've written
a simple function that does the comma formatting for me but it mucks up
sorting. Of course. (I'm using a datagrid to display the results and live
sorting is really handy.)

Does anyone have an easy way to deal with this? I'm tempted to use a fixed
pitch font so that larger numbers always look longer, but that would be a
kludgey workaround.

(I note that in OSX the Finder puts separators in the correct places in
large numbers using the settings of the International System Preferences.)

Michael

But what happened to "write once and compile for multiple

did. That is not an improvement in my mind, and I hope that the  
Rev developers don't think so either.


It doesn't bother me at all. Icons are an external resource and  
we've always needed a third-party app to create them. The old way  
of embedding Windows icons was based on Windows 95 and had some  
unusual requirements even back then. I'm sure you've bumped up  
against the restrictions for icon size, color depth, number of  
icons in the file, etc. With Vista and Win 7 it became apparent  
that the file structure needed to be updated so that Rev apps would  
function like any other on that platform and comply with standards.


So all that is required is that you use a different icon editor  
than the one you used to use, one that creates icons that fit with  
today's file structure. I don't know what you were using before,  
but for now there aren't many Mac alternatives. If someday one  
appears, you can use that one and not need a Windows machine.


There were some good reasons to change the file structure,  
including the ability to certify your Windows apps with a manifest,  
just like any other Windows program. That's necessary in today's  
more restrictive Windows environment. Vista introduced some stiff  
security measures and your app is more likely to fail if it doesn't  
comply. That change doesn't mean that Rev is deficient -- in fact,  
it indicates that Rev is keeping up with the OS -- but it does mean  
you need to change the icon editor you use. Virtually any newer  
Windows icon editor will work. To date, almost no Mac one will.


What were you using before?

Re: Problem Updating mySQL Record

[Andrew Kluthe]

Originally I had a database error saying that the field cannot be null. I
changed it in the table to allow null and see what it was placing. No errors
after I made it nullable.


The fields Datatype is decimal and the length is 19,4.

I am fairly baffled. Is this a rev problem or a mySQL problem?

Hi Jacque, I made the suggestion I did because at 100 Million records plus,
that's an awfully big read into memory just to delete the last line, so I
figured it's better to work with the file on disk. I just remembered the
params for open file wrong and Alex caught it.

There doesn't appear to be any problem with this SQL.
What is the data type for LeasePaymentDollars in the database table?
When you execute the query, do you get an error report?

RE: Reading/Deleting Last Line Of File

[Jim Bufalini]

Alex,

It does work, just not "exactly" how I said to do it. ;-) You have to open
the file for "append*, instead of *write* and then write at a byte offset.
So:

open file "" for append
write "This is the EOF" to file "" at 
close file ""

I just tested on an approximately 10kb text file and if  is 5000, the
"This is the EOF" is written starting at byte 5000 and the file is
terminated at the end of that string and the file data before byte 5000 is
retained in the file and the file changes to an approximately a 5KB file, so
the EOF is moved and the file is truncated.

I really shouldn't dash these answers off from memory. ;-)

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

Problem Updating mySQL Record

[Andrew Kluthe]

While not very pretty yet, I am trying to cobble together an update handler
for updating a "Payment" record.

It keeps trying to put NULL into "LeasePaymentDollars" field in my DB. This
is weird because I check the SQL query its trying to execute and everything
is as it should be. 

I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with the
tLeasePaymentDollars variables Data type.

Here is the query that the handler is producing. Note: I first tried putting
single quotes around the value and it did not work, so I tried it without
and get the same result.

UPDATE tleasepayments SET LeasePaymentDollars=1337. AND
CropSharePercent='N/A' AND Notes='None' WHERE LeaseID='1075'

Here is the handler itself.

on UpdatePayment pTable, pSetQuery, pConditional
-- check the global connection ID to make sure we have a database
connection
global sDatabaseID

Re: Reading/Deleting Last Line Of File

[Richard Gaskin]

Would the seek command help?

Presumably it would move the file pointer to the specified point without 
having to load the entire file into RAM.


If you knew your lines were shorter than a given length, say 1000 chars, 
you could so something like:


  open file tFile for append
  seek relative -1000 in file tFile
  repeat
 read from file tFile until cr
 if it is not empty then
put it after tBuffer
 else
delete last line of tBuffer
write tBuffer to file tFile
 end if
  end repeat
  close file tFile

This is off the top of my head to test before using on real data. ;)

Re: Reading/Deleting Last Line Of File

[J. Landman Gay]

Piggy-backing here:

I have a large text file (100,000,000+ records).  I need to write a
utility that removes the last record of the file.  Is there anyway to
just remove the last record without reading through the complete file
with RunRev?


It sounds like a big file, but Rev is pretty good about managing memory 
and swapping to disk. I'd be tempted to try this and see how it works:


  delete line -1 of url ("file:mytext.txt")

Worth a test anyway. I've used it on files that were several megs in 
size without a problem, but they weren't super huge, just kinda big.

Re: Reading/Deleting Last Line Of File

[Alex Tweedly]

I don't think this will work, Jim.  If you open a file for write, then 
it erases the entire content of the file first


as the docs say (emphasis added)...
The file to write to must be opened first with the open file command, 
and the mode the file was opened in must be write, append, or update. 
If the file is not open or is open read-only, the result function is 
set to "File is not open for write.".


If the file was opened in write mode, the write to file command 
completely *replaces the file contents from the start.* For example, 
if the file originally contains "ABC", and you write "1" to it, after 
the write to file command is executed the file contains "1".

And as you say, open for update does not allow you to truncate the file.

The standard C library has a way to do it, and there is a Unix shell 
command - but not afaict a Windows shell utility to do it.

This is totally untested but "logically" you could:
 
1. First get the size of the file on disk and approximate a character offset
that should be only a few lines from the end of the file. 


2. Then Open the file for read and read from file starting at the char
offset you calculated to EOF into a var and delete the last line of the var.


3. Then Close the file and Open it again for write.

4. Now write the var to file at the same starting offset you read from.

The reason you don't use open for update is that you want to open the file
for write, so that whatever you write to the file replaces everything from
the offset to the EOF. Update will replace chars and leave the last record
at the end.

What I don't know here is if internally the read/write from file at start
still has to go through the entire file to calculate the starting offset, so
I don't know how long this will take on a file of your size. But, at least,
doing it this way won't require reading the whole file into memory and
should result in the last line being deleted from the file in the quickest
way available.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

I don't think these is documented by you can access the

put the dgDataControlOfIndex[1] of group "DataGrid"

Notes: If you are not caching controls then returns empty if index or

For tables I see a ColumnControlOfIndex function in the source code.  
You can call it directly from any script nested within the Data Grid

put ColumnControlOfIndex("column name", 3) into theControl

May return an empty value.

SQL Yoga has a printKeys() function defined that will print out nested

OT: Win7 Apps don't launch - just nothing ?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

 

One customer of mine can't start my Rev Apps on his new Win7 machine. After
double clicking my App with admin rights and also with right mouse "as
admin" just nothing happens, no window opens, no error message, no task
running. The only thing is the windows event log, which tells about a very
generic Application Error, EventID 1000. Up to now, my two rev apps are the
only one with this strange behaviour. Both Apps run up to today on all other
Win7 machines without any probs.

After going behind this mysterious behaviour whole day long, googling,
trying to switch off the virus scan and windows firewall I am not sure, if
it is an issue of Rev or any other component on his machine. My suspicion is
that it is related to the UAC or any other permission thing, but he has
switched off his UAC to the lowest level, and I don't know what to check for
now.

Does anybody has seen this behaviour or has a hint, what to check for?

Thanks for any ideas

Tiemo

Two problems.

First problem is in my Debian install, and here the problem is any sort of
printing. Print card, print field, page setup.  As a for example, create a
field, select it (this is in the IDE) and select Print from the file menu.
There seem not to be any printers.  But every other application bar none can
print, and not only do I have a physical printer configured, I have cupspdf,
so I could print to pdf if it could see it or any of the printers that are
set up.

Second problem was on Mandriva in another install.  Here it was able to find
the printer, and to print to it, but it truncated the file, and it was
impossible to change the settings on the printer, for instance change the
orientation or change the percentage zoom, to fit it all in.  If I recall
correctly, the settings were there, they just had no effect, it came out the
same no matter what you put them to.


Once the RQCC # was posted here I checked it out under Ubuntu 9.1. 
There I was able to use revPrintField to print to a .ps file, after 
changing the page size from the default A4 to US Letter.


I also checked using answer printer and answer page setup directly; both 
seem to work okay in that distro, at least partially:


I've found that while I can change page sizes, any change to orientation 
(Landscape vs Portrait) seems to have no effect.


I have not yet printed to a physical printer (I use mine only a few 
times a year); I'll try that soon.


Could this issue be specific to KDE?

To the others here:  Can you please test this on whatever Linux distros 
you're using and add your comments to the RQCC report for this so we can 
pin this down:




Thanks for you help on this.


PS -  An interesting side note in my testing:  While using Rev under 
Ubuntu I found that opening the Dictionary slowed everything in Rev to a 
painful crawl.  So I installed MetaCard there, and its Dictionary works 
very quickly with no adverse effect on overall performance as there was 
with Rev's.


The main difference between Rev's Dictionary and MC's is that MC's 
doesn't parse XML files from disk, but instead has everything included 
as cards in a single stack (in modern systems we've seen no memory 
limitation which would require otherwise; stacks work fine for the 
Dictionary even with 1600 cards; "know the engine, trust the engine, use 
the engine" ).


There are two things that come into play with the Rev Dictionary: file 
I/O, and XML parsing.


I know from my work with WebMerge on Linux that file I/O there seems 
efficient, on par with the other platforms.


So this has me wondering if the XML externals for Linux need a bit of a 
touch-up.


Any of you using the XML lib with Rev on Linux?  I tend to parse XML in 
script so I've not yet used it myself, and it would be good to confirm 
this hunch before I report it.


I wonder if Ken's scripted library would outperform Rev's external on Linux:

Re: Not quite [OT]: News about Revolution

[Judy Perry]

Right.  I was just having this argument, er, discussion on a history list 
I'm on; they made me think I was crazy so I spent a few minutes googling 
such things and found the most astonishing stuff (to me at least; the 
Brit history folks either denied the stuff outright or thought these 
things were a-okay):


*A pilot plan, already in place in 2,000 UK private residences, to have 
ultimately up to 20,000 CCTVs installed in people's homes to ensure kids 
did their homework, parents fed them approved substances, etc.


*The ~4 million CCTV surveillance systems already in place in the UK have 
image quality so poor as to utterly fail in 80% of criminal identification 
cases, and solving only 1 case per 1,000 cameras.


*The infamous "spy on your neighbor/go through their trash" billboards.

Not that we're a whole lot better in the US, as we saw yesterday...  It 
was recently revealed that the FBI, in contravention to US law, literally 
used Post-It notes on teleco worker's workstations to illegally access US 
residents' phone records... :-/


Does anyone here remember the late 60s BBC program The Prisoner?  Among 
its iconic elements were the ever-prominent placement of CCTVs to spy on 
people, on the street and in their residences.  I'm not certain that 
anyone today would find that odd in the slightest, much less chillingly 
prescient.


Police state, here we come :-(

Its a US requirement and the deadline set by the Bush administration was
years ago but many (most?) countries cannot afford to do it. I never figured
out how they thought that if you were smart enough to do these horrible
things you would have a "real" chip in your passport. This stuff is like
squeezing a balloon as when you press in one area it pops out in a different
one. Unfortunately though the world runs on money and all the money goes
thru SWIFT.


My partner is leaving the UK on holiday and asked me what was the
limit on taking cash out of the country.  I told him that as far as I
knew, there was no limit (amazing as that sounds -- I remember it
being one of the first things that Thatcher did when she came to
power).

He told me that this couldn't be true.  So I did a quick search and
found out that things have drastically altered.  Not the law, mind you
-- AFAICT there is still technically no limit.  But it turns out that
people who have as little as £1000 in cash on them at airports are
quizzed about it and required to show proof of where this money came
from!

It would not cross my mind if going for a 14+ day holiday to take less
than £3000 cash with me.  And it would also never have crossed my mind
to make sure I could provide an audit trail too.

Why would I take so much cash?  Because I've been injured on holiday
before and needed a lot of scans.  And because I've been stranded
abroad where my credit cards with over £30,000 of credit on them and
which have never been compromised, were refused in ATMs, leaving me no
option but to pay massive charges elsewhere to draw money out on my
credit cards.  It transpired that there had been so much ATM fraud in
that city that foreign cards could not be used.  When I took this up
with my bank back home, every guarantee that the matter had been
resolved (and that I could now use my cards) turned out to be
worthless.  When asked why we weren't warned about these things in the
UK, they said if they did that the fraudsters would just move on.  But
that is exactly what they will do within hours  of their fake ATM
cards not working!

So, one can't rely on ATMs, and if one takes anything other than pin
money on a foreign vacation one should be prepared to provide a trail
that can be audited.

Unbelievable.  The end result is that I now do a fraction of the
travel that I used to do.

And yet governments still take steps that ensure there is a drugs
trade, they don't take any real measures against known terrorist
groups, and most CCTV cameras fail to prevent or solve crimes.

Security theatre, as Bruce Schneier calls it.

Re: AW: Andre's house - completely offtopic

[Mark Rauterkus]

Hi,

A map with pinpoints could be build by a community in Picasa, the
google app that now allows shared photos each with its own geotags.
The rub is that all would need to have a Google (gmail) account, or
else open up an account for this purpose if another didn't upload the
photo for you with the right tag.

A sorta new Picasa web albums feature allows for a shared web album.
Then folks could upload a photo and a geotag to that one album (need
to have the right name/URL, of course). Then, those subscribed to the
open web album, uploaded a photo to it, that album would present a
nice visual effect with map of the world and images, etc.

Some hand-holding may be required.

A RunRev app could be built as well, either to interface with the
shared Picasa album or else done on its own.

Ta.

Re: Problems with a standalone for Linux

[Andre.Bisseret]

Thank you very much Bernard for your answer.

I will keep in mind your clever idea of a message logging; well, but  
for future applications ;-))


What I don't understand at all is why all is working well on Mac an  
Windows and not on Linux ! all the more so that, with Linux, among 3  
buttons triggering exactly the same program, only one does not work!


For the time being, I think that your last suggestion (installing  
Linux in a VM) should be the good one;
But up to now, I sent my app. to only one person who uses exclusively  
Linux (and I am not selling it ;-)) so I will "wait and see".


"Procrastination" is not often a good solution but might be one in  
this case ;-o)))


Thanks again

Best regards from Grenoble

Andre,  This is maybe not what you want to hear.

I build a message logging feature into my applications.  Throughout my
code I have messages sent to the log, along with a priority level and
a message.  This means that debugging can be done outside the IDE by
seeing what is in the log.

logMessage 3, "going to open help stack"

logMessage 2, "user selected exit"

That way by setting a variable at the start that turns logging on my
app can produce a log of events.  And by setting the priority level I
can determine how verbose the logging is.

I know it's of little help to you in this situation.  Unless you
re-write your application to do messsage logging. It is probably less
effort to install Linux in a VM and then run your app within the IDE
and see what's happening.

The read from file command allows you start at a character offset and then
read to a string, or for a number of bytes/chars/words/items (see
dictionary) or to EOF. The write command will replace from the starting
character offset and move the EOF for you. So, in your case, I don't think
you have to be exact in your read. Just read in close to the end to EOF and
write from the same offset and let the write command handle the EOF for you.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

This is totally untested but "logically" you could:
 
1. First get the size of the file on disk and approximate a character offset
that should be only a few lines from the end of the file. 

2. Then Open the file for read and read from file starting at the char
offset you calculated to EOF into a var and delete the last line of the var.


3. Then Close the file and Open it again for write.

4. Now write the var to file at the same starting offset you read from.

The reason you don't use open for update is that you want to open the file
for write, so that whatever you write to the file replaces everything from
the offset to the EOF. Update will replace chars and leave the last record
at the end.

What I don't know here is if internally the read/write from file at start
still has to go through the entire file to calculate the starting offset, so
I don't know how long this will take on a file of your size. But, at least,
doing it this way won't require reading the whole file into memory and
should result in the last line being deleted from the file in the quickest
way available.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini

My partner is leaving the UK on holiday and asked me what was the
limit on taking cash out of the country.  I told him that as far as I
knew, there was no limit (amazing as that sounds -- I remember it
being one of the first things that Thatcher did when she came to
power).

He told me that this couldn't be true.  So I did a quick search and
found out that things have drastically altered.  Not the law, mind you
-- AFAICT there is still technically no limit.  But it turns out that
people who have as little as £1000 in cash on them at airports are
quizzed about it and required to show proof of where this money came
from!

It would not cross my mind if going for a 14+ day holiday to take less
than £3000 cash with me.  And it would also never have crossed my mind
to make sure I could provide an audit trail too.

Why would I take so much cash?  Because I've been injured on holiday
before and needed a lot of scans.  And because I've been stranded
abroad where my credit cards with over £30,000 of credit on them and
which have never been compromised, were refused in ATMs, leaving me no
option but to pay massive charges elsewhere to draw money out on my
credit cards.  It transpired that there had been so much ATM fraud in
that city that foreign cards could not be used.  When I took this up
with my bank back home, every guarantee that the matter had been
resolved (and that I could now use my cards) turned out to be
worthless.  When asked why we weren't warned about these things in the
UK, they said if they did that the fraudsters would just move on.  But
that is exactly what they will do within hours  of their fake ATM
cards not working!

So, one can't rely on ATMs, and if one takes anything other than pin
money on a foreign vacation one should be prepared to provide a trail
that can be audited.

Unbelievable.  The end result is that I now do a fraction of the
travel that I used to do.

And yet governments still take steps that ensure there is a drugs
trade, they don't take any real measures against known terrorist
groups, and most CCTV cameras fail to prevent or solve crimes.

Security theatre, as Bruce Schneier calls it.

Bonjour,

I have an app. that I saved as standalones for the three platforms  
(Mac,

Windows and Linux).

A first stack is launched which includes the engine and 3 buttons,  
each of

which opens an independant stack (say stack1, stack2 and stack3).

The 3 buttons have exactly the same script (on mouseUp, they call a  
same

command "ouvrirCeStack").

They are working well on Mac and Windows ;

But one user of Linux reports that only the two first buttons are  
working

normally. The third one does not open the corresponding stack!!!

How is that possible ??


Is stack3 correctly built into the standalone?
It is not in the standalone. As the 2 other stacks it is called by its  
fileName
Is the a preOpen.. or open... handler in stack 3 that could be  
causing an error?

No there is no such handlers

Can you build a version which displays the result if there is a
problem - that would help work out what the error is?

OK, I will search how one do that and try ;-)





Another problem with this Linux standalone :

On stack1 (which open normally) there is a button "help" which  
alternatively

change the visibile of a field "help" (shows or hides it)
Here again works well on Mac and Windows but, with the Linux  
standalone, my
user says that when he clicks on this button the field "help" is  
shown but

is immediately hidden, and the stack is closed!!



Perhaps he is double-clicking on the button which would show then  
hide.

That was my first hypothesis but he said he does not double-click

One way to avoid this is to have the button show the help field, and
then a click in the help field itself hides it.
I have the two possibilities to hide the field (click on the field or  
re-click on the button


Not easy for me to find what is wrong with the Linux  version. I have  
no opportunity to make quick trials and my user lives in another town  
(I sent him the app on a CD).

Anyway, thanks much again Sahah

In the situations where I've used "read from process" this latency
would make it a total non-starter.  I think there is something unusual
in your circumstances.

I have just been working on a small module that uses "read from
process", and the same action launched from a command line takes 5
seconds, as it does if it was run using "read from process".  So your
experience of latency is unusual.  Maybe it is something to do with
the startup time of the application you are opening as a process?  I'm
running on Vista here, but I've used "read from process" on OS X too
with no noticeable delays

I would try timing the same action using a command line script to see
if there is really a latency with "read from process".

You could try setting the 'printTitle' global property before calling

PDF doc name with revPrintText corrupted?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I am using revPrintText with Rev 3.5 on Win to print a fields text. When
selecting a printer everything is fine. When selecting a pdf-printer Rev
creates a pdf doc name from my stack title. My stack title has german
Umlaute and they get changed to weired signs in the pdf doc name, as if
there there is a problem with the Unicode or something like this. I tried to
use the revPrintText parameter "header text" in the hope rev would take that
header text as the doc name, but no effect.

Does anybody knows, if I can change the doc name when printing to pdf or to
change the charset or any other idea?

I know that there is the new pdf printing in 4.5, but I have to fix it in
3.5 with old style.

Thanks

Tiemo

Andre,  This is maybe not what you want to hear.

I build a message logging feature into my applications.  Throughout my
code I have messages sent to the log, along with a priority level and
a message.  This means that debugging can be done outside the IDE by
seeing what is in the log.

logMessage 3, "going to open help stack"

logMessage 2, "user selected exit"

That way by setting a variable at the start that turns logging on my
app can produce a log of events.  And by setting the priority level I
can determine how verbose the logging is.

I know it's of little help to you in this situation.  Unless you
re-write your application to do messsage logging. It is probably less
effort to install Linux in a VM and then run your app within the IDE
and see what's happening.

Thank you, Stewart.  That's all I wanted to know.  It's great news,
and will make the wait all the more worth it :-)

My British passport will only include chips if, as and when the issuing
