Re: set the textStyle to not bold
Beat, The htmlText solution I proposed will also work for boxed text that is also bold and underline: pHere isbox ubsome/b/u/box text/p You can simply replace the box tags with empty, leaving the underline and bold.

MySQL error - duplicate entry
Hi, I'm getting a MySQL error in a handler that is based on the newRecord handler from the Working with Databases sample stack. This handler is updating a table named 'groups'. The columns are id, grp_id, member_id There are currently 60 rows, with id = 1 to 60 Whereas in the newRecord handler in the sample stack, the incoming parameter is just the pRecordID, I'm also passing to my handler a comma-delimited list of groups the pRecordID person is assigned to. As in the original newRecord script, the first INSERT command is supposed to create a new record in the table. Then, a LAST_INSERT_ID command is issued to get the ID of the new record. Then an UPDATE command is issued to post the values to the new row. In this example, there are two groups in the pGrpList parameter. As I iterate through them, the first one appears to get posted OK (but not really), but the second time through I'm getting the error: Duplicate entry '0' for key 1 When I check the database in phpMyAdmin, a new row with id = 0 has been created -- presumably by the first iteration. On that first iteration, the LAST_INSERT_ID is consistently returning 3084. Since there are only 60 rows, that seems a weird number. It is, however, a valid member_id for someone who appears in the table. So, maybe there's more than one problem? The failure on the second iteration makes me think there's a database cursor problem, but I don't know how to resolve that, if that's what it is. Here's the script... global gRTdbID # following assumes MySQL queries on updateGroups pRecordID,pGrpList # looking in the debugger, # pRecordID is valid; it's 1009 # pGrpList is valid; it's 8,12 startLoading set the cursor to busy # first, delete the existing rows if any revExecuteSQL gRTdbID, DELETE FROM groups WHERE member_id = :1, pRecordID get the result -- just checking in the debugger: it's 0 # now add the new list (a comma-delimited list of groups to which this person is assigned) if pGrpList is empty then put 10 into pGrpList -- default group repeat for each item tGroup in pGrpList revExecuteSQL gRTdbID, INSERT INTO groups() VALUES() put the result into tRes if tRes is not a number or tRes 0 then error tRes end if put revDataFromQuery(comma, return, gRTdbID, SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()) into tLastID # at this point, tLastID is 3084. But, there are only 60 rows in the table... ? if item 1 of tLastID is revdberr then error tLastID else revExecuteSQL gRTdbID, UPDATE groups SET grp_ID = :1, member_ID = :2 WHERE id = :3, \ tGroup, pRecordID, tLastID end if end repeat stopLoading end updateGroups Any ideas?

High ASCII character translation code thingy
Hi, I'm doing some volunteer work for a non-profit. They're sending me an XML export from a Netsuite database server, emailed to me weekly. The file contains a transaction log which I need to parse in order to update a Rev-based database. For ease, and because the file is not huge, I'm opening it in Excel, copying the records and pasting them into BBEdit, then saving that as .txt and reading the text file into Rev. This handily converts the data to Tab and Return delimited. I'm using Macs (Tiger and Leopard, the same behavior). Rev Studio 2.9. Problem 1: Some records in this update file contain Spanish, French, German or Dutch names, street addresses, etc. The special characters in those languages are arriving here in some code that I cannot find a description of anywhere. Hopefully, I can represent it here without them getting translated into something else. Example: The accented i in Maria (María) is expressed in this file as √≠or the square root symbol and a not-equal sign. So, the result is Mar√≠a. Question 1: what is this code called, and where can I find some documentation on it? Does Rev have a translator, either through a function, or some way to import a file? Problem 2: A friend painstakingly went through instances of these encodings and mapped them to the special characters they represent. So, I now have a text file containing a tab and return delimited list, 65 rows. I thought I would create an array and pass the data through a function to translate the codes into their respective special characters. However, it turns out that one of the special characters is a capital D with a horizontal bar through the ascender. Or, as it is represented in this table: √è (tab) Ð That D character displays fine in BBEdit. However, when I pasted the entire list into a Rev field, the data was terminated before displaying that D character. I also tried setting a property to the contents of the Clipboard. Apparently, that D character is a terminator in the Rev Clipboard. Question 2: how can I interpret and display the D character, since it terminates a string? Weird Note: I tried using File / Import to bring the translation text file into Rev, but that result was surprising. All the characters in the table were translated into the very code I'm trying to unravel! So, for example, the line containing the accented i: √≠í became ‚àö‚â†√≠ Obviously, Rev knows something about these codes. So, as a workaround, I'm going to replace the D character with a substitute and work with the other 64 of them in that array, hoping nobody shows up with that D character in their name or address. Anyone have any insight?

The cursor changes to I- beam when hovered over the field. Clicking in the field, places an insertion point at the top of the field, but typing has no effect. Dragging in the field does not select text.

Re: field problem
The traversalOn of the new field (and the stack) was set to true. Setting it to false didn't affect the behavior. The original field's traversalOn is also set to true (and it works fine). My successful workaround was to Save a Copy, and then in the copy delete the offending field, create a new scrolling field and paste the text from the original. -- Paul On 4/15/07, J.

Re: field problem
Jacque discovered that the field's autoHilite was set to false. But, then there was some other strange behavior, so there's a bug or two in that sequence. Workaround, of course, is to make a new field and copy the text over. Thanks, everyone. -- Paul On 4/15/07, Ken Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 15 Apr 2007 14:30:44 -0700, Paul Foraker wrote: Behavior is the same with Focusable true or false, except that with it set to false, the insertion point doesn't appear at all. Is it possible that you're trapping any of the key messages (keyDown/keyUp, rawKeyDown/up, etc.) in the substack (or later in the hierarchy)? It sounds like the keystroke is being trapped and not passed... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: OT: Regex
According to my non-resident genius cousin (computer science student at UCSB), -- BEGIN IM TRANSCRIPT -- me: do you know what m|nk means? him: sure, in a programming context, it means if m bitwise or with n is greater than k me: thank you! him: sure sure me: and... what's it mean? him: hehehe me: so, bitwise, meaning counted as bits so, the bits it takes to represent m or n is more than it takes to represent k ? him: so, (m | n) is almost like an add... let's see... so if any bit in either variable is a 1, then in the result that bit is also a 1 so if m were, say, 100 (in binary), and n were 010, the result of m | n would be 110 me: (lying through my teeth) Ok, thanks, I get the idea. him: sure, sure --- END IM TRANSCRIPT --- On Tuesday, Jan 13, 2004, at 13:37 US/Pacific, J.
