[ ... about using JSON ... ]
But if you don't need interoperability, you wouldn't need to write a
parser, since LC includes a good one built into the engine.
What did I miss?
The fact that Livecode's support for JSON is, hmmm, med
use behaviors so you could manage
your code with a repository like Git. This would greatly reduce the number of
behavior scripts that you would create. One app that work on has the code in
the stack’s behavior script.

I've noticed that in a lot of the example code I've seen recently,
there's a bit of a common pattern.
In the card script, there will be code like
on mouseUp
switch the short name of the target
case "first"
doCommandFirst
break
case "another"
doCommandAnother
{ Aside: any discussion where both Mark Weider and Mark Waddingham take
part is all the better because of that; two very knowledgeable people
with two very different viewpoints (in some areas) is a good thing. BUT
it makes it hard to refer to what each of them said - "MarkW" is still
ambiguous.
I'll add my thanks for such a usefull tool.

Anyway, this rather odd and obscure facet of the language will
disappear in 10 as we've made it so that initializers for constants
and locals can be constant expressions. Thus:
constant kTrue = TRUE
local sEmptyString = em
I was surprised to find that
constant K = TRUE
produces an error, though
constant K = true
is fine. In other contexts, you can say
put TRUE into myVar
put true into hisVar
etc.
but in a constant statement, it seems to be case sensitive.
Anyone got an interesting story (or theo

Direct equivalent is probably
repeat with i = 0 to myArrayLength-1
put i-1 into j
if j < 0 then put myArrayLength-1 into j
.
end repeat
OR, if you prefer a single-statement version
repeat with i = 0 to myArrayLength-1
put (i + myArrayLength-1) mod myArrayLength into j
.

Could you maybe video the machine going through its sequence - then
record your voice-over later (either muting or turning down the machine
audio, whichever is better) ?

Hi Keith,
that code will fail for any commas which occur within quoted entries -
they will be wrongly converted to TABs
I'd suggest getting cvsToTab (a community effort by Richard Gaskin, me
and a whole host of others over the years) as a good starting place, and
perhaps finishing place. It

Yes, Quentin's allowing for diagonals (that's how the number of

And it's probably a good idea, allowing an even finer filter - if you
