(The text can still be edited, but not something that is really usable.) The fields are obviously still there and running "put the num of flds of this cd" into the message box returns "18" Yet only one field shows in the Application browser.

Re: Best way to carry out boolean searches on large text body.
Thanks for the ideas. I had completely missed the concept of using "is in" as a method. To be honest I had thought these types of search wold be too slow. Boy was I wrong. Doing a simple text on my 450,000 word text block was effectively instantaneous. Most impressive. While the boolean searching is only one aspect of my project, it was the prime aspect upon which everything else was to hang.

Re: RunRevLive.10: 72 hours left to save
Hi Kevin, I'm sorry, I missed this entire line of messages until tonight so I didn't know about the complications until now. I still haven't received DVDs, letter, or anything and it's nearly two weeks since this email. I was just wondering when they might show up and sitting down to inquire when I came across this. So maybe someone could check that I haven't somehow been overlooked. As far as whatever silliness you were responding to there, I'd recommend the use of the "little white lie" as a very handy business tool in cases like this. It's only wrong to use it to hide genuine wrongdoing; otherwise, it's your friend. So they accidentally sent you porn discs - these things happen. Cheers, Joe F.

Hi François,
Thanx for your quick reply.
I added Sarah's script into my application and ran it.
The function halted with an error on ("), because it is not a
number. I
think Sarah's function is looking for a number after the ampersand,
correct?
So I'm handling the (") as an exception for now by using this
script:
if theText contains """ then
replace """ with quote in theText
end if
and then call the decodeEntities(theText) function.
I'm sure I'll come across other HTML text like this, but don't know
how to
handle it really.
Basically, I would go to a site that shows all html entities, make a
list of those, and do a replace using a repeat loop.
Google 'html entities' to get the possibilities.
Jim Ault
Las Vegas
I was curious about this so I looked in the dictionary entry for
"HTMLtext", in which there is a list of named HTML entities that Rev
is supposed to recognize. In my version of the dictionary this list is
missing the ampersand before almost all the entries and also mostly
doesn't show the characters referred to (I'm submitting a user note on
this). I cleaned up this list meanwhile and it is available at:
http://home.comcast.net/%7Epmbrig/HTMLcharEncoding.dmg (Mac)
http://home.comcast.net/%7Epmbrig/HTMLcharEncoding.rev.zip (Windows)
The data is stored also in stack custom properties -- to find the HTML
encoding for a character c, use:
the chartoHTML[c] of this stack
but you have to set the casesensitive to true first before calling the
function or it won't recognize the difference between "É" and
"é"
On another note, in perusing the dictionary entry for HTMLtext, I
noticed that it says:
Encloses text whose textFont, textSize, foregroundColor, or
backgroundColor is different from the field's default. These five
properties are represented as attributes of the tag.
* face="fontName" appears in the tag if the textFont is not
the default.
* size="pointSize" appears if the textSize is not the default.
In standard HTML, the size attribute normally takes a value between 1
and 7, representing a relative text size, with 3 being the normal text
size for the web page. To accommodate this convention, when setting
the HTMLText of a field, if the pointSize is between 1 and 7, the
textSize of the text is set to a standard value:
pointSize textSize
1 8 point
2 10 point
3 12 point
4 14 point
5 17 point
6 20 point
7 25 point
and further down it says:
* The size attribute of the font tag can encode the font's point size,
in addition to the standard 7 HTML sizes.
Apparently numbers less than 8 are interpreted as HTML relative size
and larger numbers specify point size.
Could this have something to do with the recently mentioned problems
with font sizes on Unix platforms? If somehow the rev unix engine is
mixing these up, then something intended to be size 14 could display
at size 4. But I know very little about this stuff, it's just a
thought.
