Thank you for your reply.
Obviously, it was possible in earlier versions of LC.
So, could someone be kind enough to make a quick test with the most
recent versions of LC, by typing text inside a field, if special
characters can be used, like alt+144 for É, and possibly on azerty and
qwerty
Thanks again Richard
In my case I don’t actually need a workaround. Once I had corrected my own
error, the only effect of the inconsistent event order is that on Windows and
Linux the colour coding of the selection turns off a fraction of a second
earlier than on a Mac. I am not so obsessive
You can read for x characters then check the result for empty. So no you do not
need to read the entire file into memory.

I thought I recalled a bug in the LC engine where using the keyboard
method of typing the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For
example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then
press X, didn't work in Livecode. However, I just tried searching the

What a very kind thing of you to say. Thank you.
After 30 years as a recipient of so much wisdom and lore shared with me,
I've felt compelled to share some of that forward. In recent years most
of what I write seems ignored, so I've been spending my time elsewhere.
Your encouragement may see

Thanks Tom, Mike and Craig. Sorry for the late response, I’m on the digest
version.
My thought was that an open file for read does not require placing the whole
file into memory. Am I mistaken in that assumption? Seems like it would be nice
to not use all of the available memory to run the
Hi list,
I have been asked by a client to make some upgrades to a standalone app
that I built with LC 6.5 about 12 years ago.
The app is a front end for managing a remote DB on a server. The DB
content is roughly 90% in french, and the rest in english and german. It
has about 16 entries
I don't think you're necessarily going to be limited by physical memory, as
the computer will have a certain addressing space in VM, as well, right?
