Several Text issues
Hello, I have been reading all the user list messages for awhile and learning lots about Revolution, but I am still a newbie at it. I am using Ken Ray's Directory Walking (thanks Ken) to put the path of all files in a directory in a scroll text field: I have read the documentation and searched the user list archives but still cannot find how to do a couple of things. 1. I would like to format the text in the field for better reading, how do I use the set htmltext property to format the text field, do I put that in the text field script? 2. I want the user to enter a search string and be able to find that in the text field, the string could be a file name or an extension type. Do I use the find command? what is the format? I want to be able to find anything that closeley matches the search as well as exact matches, and have that open in a new stack. The documenation shows how to use Find with a specific string but not how to do it with a variable. 3. I would like to be able to open to that file in an explorer window (only needs to be windows, but a cross platform way would be great) by clicking on the file name in the search result window. Thanks for all your help Michael Parent ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: Several Text issues
Michael I looked at these suggestions still need help you need to copy to look to find to search to make it work kinda thing it is you know ;) Like every skill... 1 Cannot see how I set the Htmltext when I am putting the text into the field local mylastsearch on mouseup put http://runrev.com; into thisurl get url thisurl # i'll skip the checking for brevity put it into thisvariable set the htmlfield of fld myhtmlfield to thisvariable 2. I need to search by a user entered search string so it has to be by variable, how Do I use the Find command with a variable, or is there a different way to do this? -- script continued... answer search for what: with mylastsearch if it is empty or the result is cancel then exit mouseup put lineoffset(it, fld myhtmlfield) into x if x is less than one than answer sorry ' it ' not found, at least you got an htmlfield! exit mouseup end if else put offset(it,fld myhtmlfield) into a set the textcolor of char a to a+length(it) of fld myhtmlfield to red put it into mylastsearch end mouseup something like that says my hat. I know it's incomplete but it should send you on your way to great scripting. The Find command is better used for stack card searching. In-field searching is done with offset searches and text selection or hiliting (in this case) ;) 3. The revgourl seems to open the file, I don't want to open the file, I want to open the Explorer Window to that file location so then the user has access to the file to attach to email or burn to CD ect. This is mainly going to be on Windows XP Pro if you want a fully featured example, find the DiscreteBrowser on http://MonsieurX.com which I think does it all but now does even more ;) Although CD burning... Let's get serious... There's also lots of examples in the RevDocs (find revgourl) that you can find via the see also in each 'card' - an exploration of the links and examples in revdocs usually solves most basic scripting questions...

Re: Several Text issues
Hi Michael, About your first point about HTML, you might check the html Property in the docs and dowload my Encoded Text Picker plugin (from my web site) which is a translator from/to HTML and/or UrlEncode. It will show you *on the fly* the difference between tagged text ant *plain* text, then you will understand easily how to specify the right tags to build html :-) And... set the htmlText of fld MyField to MyTaggedText Best, Le 22 avr. 05, à 19:42, michael parent a écrit : 1 Cannot see how I set the Htmltext when I am putting the text into the field Amicalement, Eric Chatonet.

On windows you can use this: set the hideConsoleWindows to true get shell(format(explorer.exe /root,\%s\ , pPath)) Where pPath is the path to your file. You will need to escape characters in the path. I *think* for windows you need to do the following.
