I have a great script that allows MetaCard to download a file from my server. Now I need one to upload a file to the server. Does anyone have a stack with a sample script to do this? Just a time saving question. Thanks. Sincerely, Simon ___

I need to allow a user to type as regular text with formatting etc and then at the flip of the switch convert that to html and back again. Can htmlText do that? Anyone do anything fancy with it? Sincerely, Simon ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL

the detailed files

2002-06-29 Thread Simon Lord
There are a few elements in what is returned by the detailed files that need a little extra work. For instance, does anyone know how to turn the date, filesize, and modification date into human readable form? Sincerely, Simon ___ metacard mailing

Re: set directories with spaces

2002-06-27 Thread Simon Lord
Doesn't work either. Under most Unices you would use quotes to close the filename: cd /Volumes/Mac OS X This works if I run it through shell(), but that's not what I'm trying to do. I want to set the directory internally to MC, driving me a little nuts at the moment. On Friday, June 28,

The most incredibly useful feature of SuperCard that I really miss is simply using the keyboard to to edit the script of a selected object. Select and object, hold cmd+ E and you were scripting. Scott, anyway we can do this for the next release? Anyone here have time to create a keyboard

Chat server

2002-06-18 Thread Simon Lord
Has anyone built a chat server? basically run a p2p chat by placing MC on the server and allowing multiple people to chat? If so I'd like to see it if possible (ie nab a copy). If not, my next question is, can MC return the IP of the computer without using the shell? Thanks, Simon
