Re: Delete and object from script within the object?

2014-12-05 Thread Sean Cole (Pi)
Hi Bill Have the delete message on your stack script and use 'send deleteTheImage myImage to this stack in 0 sec'. This will then wait until the current message path has completed and then run the deleteTheImage command. That way there will be no more scripts running that will stop it deleting.

Unexpected word parsing

word 1 of a string like myProps[cProp] returns the whole string. Word 2 returnscProp] Since cProp is enclosed in double quotes I was expecting: word 1 -- myProps[ word 2 -- cProp word 3-- ] This is with LC 6.6.2/OSX. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com Home of lcStackBrowser

Yes, my tests were in the message box. Not that a big deal now I know what it does. Seems that the presence of a space/tab/return word delimiter overrides the presence of a quoted string within those delimiters. Off to make a dictionary note. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com Home of

Keep a stack in back

I have a quick (I hope) question.. Is there a way to have a stack behind all other stacks all the time? Yet have it still be usable as long as its not obscured by other stacks/windows. It would also need to remain behind all other windows not just LC stacks. Is this possible? If so, could

If that is the case, then word 1 return the correct value, word 2 is incorrect. Word boundaries are spaces and there are no spaces so word 1 *should* be the whole string and word 2 should be empty. Bob S On Dec 5, 2014, at 13:42 , dunb...@aol.commailto:dunb...@aol.com wrote: word 1 of a

From the 6.6.2 dictionary, though that line doesn't mention tab and return. Its just not handling quoted parts of a string very well it seems. Summary: Used with the sort command, number function, and is among and is not among properties to designate space-delimited or quoted parts of a string.

Re: Unexpected word parsing

2014-12-05 Thread Peter Haworth
It's not quite as straightforward as that since strings within double quotes are supposed to be recognized as words too. I'm fine with the way it works but the dictionary needs a few more words to explain that strings in quotes also need to have space/return/tab around them to qualify as words.
