Re: What's the difference between LC 'shell' and OSX terminal?

Thanks to Roger Eller and Mike Bonner - shell is a function! Of course it is, it says so in the LS documentation, even though the examples don't show it embedded in a function-using script. I got it wrong because I didn't read the docs closely enough - I imagined that it was a handler that act

Re: What's the difference between LC 'shell' and OSX terminal?

Wasn't real clear there.. Yes shell is a function, but livecode uses subtle clues to interpret what is what. So a function on a line by itself with no way to handle the output is instead seen as a handler because the engine is making its best guess. And since there is no handler named shell() you

shell is a function, you have to actually do something with what is returned. notice if you do the following from the message box: shell() with nothing, you get handler not found If you do this instead put shell() you get bad parameter because you didn't give the function anything to work with.

Re: Base64 weirdness

It could be not just that LC uses carriage return and line feed, but that some tools don't even break the results up into lines. You base64 encode things to make sure they can travel ok, or perhaps to hide what the text really says. For most cases you may not need to split the results into lines

Hi Maarten, The difference in the number of bytes of your base 64 encoded strings equals the number of lines of these strings. Apparently, LC uses crlf where other languages use either cr or lf. I assume you are on Windows. Try reading the file as file instead of binfile and the problem should
