The Answer: http://www.regular-expressions.info/ matchtext, matchchunk and replacetext use regex, many languages have it in some form or another. From the dictionary for matchtext: Tip: Revolution implements regular expressions compatible with the PCRE library. For detailed information about regular expression elements you can use with this function, see the PCRE manual at http://www.pcre.org/man.txt Regular Expressions can either be really fun and helpful, or a horrific nightmare depending on the day, the circumstances and which side of the bed you slept on the night before.

Peter Alcibiades wrote: Its a 22 inch, a wide screen, and it seems to be 10.5 inches high. Fonts in the dictionary appear to be about 4 point. That doesn't tell us what the actual screen resolution is though. At any rate, Rev uses font inheritance for most of its stacks, and that's based on the font size set in the Home stack. Try this in the message box: set the textsize of stack home to 14 Then open the dictionary and see if it looks different. Other stacks that don't have their own size specifically set will inherit the size you put in Home as well. If the above works, you can set it up to happen automatically. Since the home stack is locked and the size is set by a script in there, you'll need to make a little plugin that issues that command after the IDE starts up. You can set your plugin to either respond to a Rev message, or just run on startup and then close itself. Or if you have any custom backscripts that routinely run, just put the command in there instead. By the way, I was running Ubuntu last night and I didn't see any font size problems.

Re: Call to all you one-liners !
Actually that doesn't solve the original issue - you can set the color to numbers that are greater than 256 and it will still work (try it with 1000,1000,1000 and you'll see what I mean). I don't see that as a problem. The numbers are modded down to 255 and setting the color of the button does exactly what I'd expect it to in that case. Well that's where you and I differ - if I accidentally passed 2555 instead of 255 for one of the integers in a color value, I'd want to be told that that's an error. This is especially true when the docs for all the color tokens state The RGBColor consists of three comma-separated integers between zero and 255... So if it's either not an integer or outside that range, I'd assume I'd receive an error. So in my eyes, this is a bug in the is a color function. BTW: This is along with the already existing bug with the function that returns true if you just pass a zero to it. And similarly, you can set the backcolor (or any other color property) of an object to 0 and not get an error... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Hi Alejandro: I'm not clear on what issue you're seeing from your email, but maybe this stack will help (in your message box): go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/disconpoints.rev; You will see the visible portion of the polygon occupies less space than its real rect, shown by the border (toggle on/off). I believe the original thread below was a consideration of this technique to mask images. A masking example stack is available here: go url http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/masking_options.rev; Hope this helps.

Re: Call to all you one-liners !
Ken- Sunday, June 27, 2010, 12:16:21 PM, you wrote: Well that's where you and I differ - if I accidentally passed 2555 instead of 255 for one of the integers in a color value, I'd want to be told that that's an error. This is especially true when the docs for all the color tokens state The RGBColor consists of three comma-separated integers between zero and 255... So if it's either not an integer or outside that range, I'd assume I'd receive an error. The docs are somewhat correct: if you request the (back)color property of an object after setting its (back)color to values that are outside the normal range (1000,1000,1000, for example) then you'll receive the integer values mod 255. So if you *get* an RGBColor the values will be indeed in that range. So in my eyes, this is a bug in the is a color function. BTW: This is along with the already existing bug with the function that returns true if you just pass a zero to it. And similarly, you can set the backcolor (or any other color property) of an object to 0 and not get an error... Depends on your objective. If the aim of the isAColor function is to determine whether the passed parameter can be used as a parameter in setting one of the color properties, then I think the function performs as designed. This seems to me to have more useful applications than the goal of determining whether the parameter is a comma-separated three-item string of integers between 0 and 255. OTOH, you may have a need to determine exactly that, in which case your regex solution would fit the need quite well. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.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
Re: Hidden point technique to mask an image
Hi Scott, Now, after downloading your example, i understand that there is no need to change the fillRule from none to evenodd or nonzero. Previously, i though that this was a requisite. In fact, after changing the fillRule of a polygonal graphic, there is no way to return it to a previous state. The solution to the problem i get is simple: Do not change the fillRule Many thanks for your help! :-D Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Hidden-point-technique-to-mask-an-image-tp2270248p2270327.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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: Access Script Local Value?
Is it possible for the script of one object to set/get a script local variable value of another object? If yes, how? Not directly, as far as I know.

revBrowser Requires Double-Click Interaction on OS X?
In my continuing revBrowser project, I'm running up against an OS X issue pointed out by Klaus Major back in Feb 2010: I found that most of the time you need to doubleclick(!) Flash elements (e.g. the movie controls in Youtube videos) when in a Revbrowser, but the intended single clicks in a normal Browser like Safari or FireFox. Just like Klaus described, the default youtube controls in a video require double-clicks to activate. Has anyone found a workaround for this? Perhaps some way to force focus on the revBrowser instance, or the content it's displaying? On Windows, click behavior works as expected.

Re: revBrowser Requires Double-Click Interaction on OS X?
Scott, I've experienced that as well and could not solve it. If you're using your own flash video player, you can usually script the interaction using javascript which might solve your problems. Looking for a solution as well.

snapshot and background problems
I have a revBrowser and I want to take a snapshot of it and save the image on a card and do this a lot of times for many pages. I can take a snapshot of revBrowser and save the file: export snapshot from rect 0,0,100,100 to aFile.png as png . How do I save a copy of the snapshot to an image on the card? I have tried export snapshot from rect 0,0,100,100 to someVar set the imagedata of image myimage to someVar and I have used the revBrowserSnapshot command also but all I get is garbage in the image. The rect of the snapshot is three times larger than the rect of the image. It seems that if I have an image and a field in a group on a card with the behave as background property checked I can use that group as a template on that card with the create card command. The field has a sharedText property. Does the image have a shredImage property I can turn off. If I can't do I just create a new image on each new card.

Sorting lines by variable directions and types
I have a table in which some columns are text and some are numbers I would like to assign values to the variables tDirection and tType so that I could do something like: put descending into tDirection put text into tType put field 1 into tList sort lines of tList tDirection tType by word 1 of each But Rev balks at the variables tDirection and tType. It wants the explicit words ascending , descending text or numeric I can get around this by using multiple conditionals (If tDirection is ascending then sort lines of tList ascending... But this is a little cumbersome since there are 4 pairs of direction and type. Is there some slight of hand I can perform on the variables tDirection and tType to make my one-liner functional, i.e. sort lines of tList MagicOperator(tDirection) MagicOperator(tType) by word 1 of each Thanks, Jim Hurley ___ 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

Depends on your objective. If the aim of the isAColor function is to determine whether the passed parameter can be used as a parameter in setting one of the color properties, then I think the function performs as designed. My issue isn't with *your* isAColor function - it's with the built-in is a color function (or is it statement?)... I meant that this: put 1000,1000,1000 is a color should return false instead of true. Well, I beg to differ on describing this as a bug. Many things are colors in rev, not only RGB values. Any color name is, HTML Color definitions are and also revs own representations (effective backpixel is a single number for example) are. Is a color needs to be able to parse all of those. Oh, I agree with you Malte - my only focus at the moment is on the RGB form of a color. IMHO either the docs need to be amended to say that the RGB values that can be used for *setting* a color can be any three integers (and values over 255 will be modded) or can be just the single integer zero, but that if you *get* the color you will always get three comma delimited integers from 0-255... OR it should be treated as a bug and only accept a 0-255 integer triplet for the RGB form of color values. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

I meant that this: put 1000,1000,1000 is a color should return false instead of true. Well, it's essentially the same argument. *My* function returns the feasibility of using the given parameter as the parameter to setting one of the color properties, which in essence is the definition of a color. IMHO either the docs need to be amended to say that the RGB values that can be used for *setting* a color can be any three integers (and values over 255 will be modded) or can be just the single integer zero, but that if you *get* the color you will always get three comma delimited integers from 0-255...

I think the fact that values over 255 can be used in RGB color values is an accidental feature, and one that I certainly wouldn't rely on. I'm not sure I would classify it as a bug, since I can't think of a situation where there would be any loss of functionality, but I'd be perfectly happy with either a change to the docs or limiting the parameters to a 0-255 integer triplet. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.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
