send vs dispatch and continuously running processes
Just want to confirm I understand these commands. I tend to write applications that run continuously. They loop over and over doing the same tasks and pretty much never get to a point to where they halt waiting for user input. Thus for me the current script never finishes executing. The send blah in X minutes command appears to only execute once the current script has completed, which in my case is never. So I assume I should never use the in X minutes form and only ever use send as an immediate command such that the current script halts and waits for it to complete. Correct? Dispatch looks to me like send except it makes it easier to include parameters and does not include the delay, which I cannot use anyway. Correct? I was hoping that I could use Send or Dispatch to fire off a bunch of get URL commands and then circle back to gather their results, a form of threads or multi-tasking but from what I can see in the 4.5 docs, that is not how those functions work. Is there a way in LiveCode to spawn a bunch of processes to run in parallel and then to process their results as they get returned? I'm assuming the answers are: Yes, Yes, No. Just want to make sure I understand them.

Re: send vs dispatch and continuously running processes
If you're doing something like a repeat forever loop, somewhere in the loop you should have a wait with messages command so the script has breathing room to execute other things. IE: wait 10 milliseconds with messages As for getting web urls, have you looked at the load command? it will load a page into cache in the background, and you can designate a callback to handle it when the load is done. Since this is a looping forever thing you'll need to make sure you unload the url after you process the results so that you always get a fresh result, and so that you don't fill your memory to the brim and bring your system to a standstill.

Re: send vs dispatch and continuously running processes
I don't really know what you intend, but you probably do not want to lock yourself into a repeat loop. As others have suggested, send in time with messages is very effective, and then call that again: on myMessage doYourStuff send myMessage to me in 1 miilisecond with messages end myMessage Or someSuch.

Re: send vs dispatch and continuously running processes
If you DO use a repeat loop, the 'wait time with messages' is pretty much obligatory right? So you can setup an exit strategy and so that pending messages (such as sends and dispatches) will still be processed, right?

Re: send vs dispatch and continuously running processes
Obligatory. Otherwise there is no vehicle for any other interaction. This was the basis for last week's thread, where it was discussed how to dig into a running process from outside that process. You cannot. Fortunately, in this case the wait command is within the operating handler, and control can be delegated, and acquired, as needed.

# sorry... I'm into kids' stories lately... I like to have fun the names of
# my test objects and vars... lightens up tedious debugging
-- query the database
put revDataFromQuery(tab, cr, gConnectionID, tSQL) into tData
-- check the result and display the data or an error message
if item 1 of tData = revdberr then
put There was a problem querying the database: cr tData
into tResponse
else
put tData into tResponse
end if
Now the odd part: tData returns revdberr, but no error verbiage
So I'm scratching my head... I open PhpPgAdmin and check...
Aha! Batman is there in Row 1! So, why the mysterious revdberr, from
revServer?
So I log in via terminal sudo postgres and try the insertion by hand

Re: INSERT into PostGreSQL triggers RevdbError but no error
Aloha, Pierre:
Thank you! there is nothing wrong with my SQL
If I use:
---
put INSERT INTO some-table (first_name, last_name, anonymous) VALUES
('Batman', 'MosquitoEater', TRUE); into tSQL
revExecuteSQL gConnectionID,tSQL
put the result into tResponse
---
I get '1' which is success
ergo: if my assumptions are correct, if you use revDataFromQuery for an
insertion and
query the result you will get an error.
which makes sense... the latter is getting data out, the former is
putting data in.
Problem solved, or rather, no problem at all except,
I was using the wrong rev dbase command for inserting data.
I guess I should probably study every single one of the revdb cmds in
the library.

Listing all the unique words in a piece of text (Resource Center broken?)
There's a sample script in the LiveCode Resource Center called listing all the unique words in a piece of text. It's located under Resource Center/Sample Scripts/Text/Listing all the ... There's a button available to download the script. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to work and I can't peek into the actual button containing the script. I used both LiveCode and Rev Studio 4.0... same result. If anyone has a minute to look and see if this is consistent with their setup, I'd appreciate it. (Or if anyone has the code, I'd appreciate getting it.)

Re: Listing all the unique words in a piece of text (Resource Center broken?)
I stumbled upon the solution to my own problem quite by accident. After clicking on copy script of another item (with again no feedback whatsoever) I went back to my stack and attempted to paste a different script into a field (not the button script as I had tried before), on the off chance it would paste. Buttons and fields appeared out of nowhere. You're not copying the script, but an entire group and the objects it holds, and you're not given any feedback. I'm glad I have the script, but this implementation is pretty funky.

Re: Listing all the unique words in a piece of text (Resource Center broken?)
Hi Mark, It's not hard! repeat for each word tWord in tYourtext add 1 to aWordCounts[tWord] end repeat put the keys of aWordCounts into tList sort lines of tList put tList ... but you probably figured this out by now.
