OT: Selecting text using REGEX

2003-09-28 Thread Martin Steer
I believe you it's faster in this case, but regex is usually faster than one might think. It is after all calling an optimized C library to do all the work :-) RegEx is more about an optimised C library, but for Rev itself, I get the impression that it's more about the optimised data structures

Keep track of object type

2003-09-28 Thread Michael Young
Hello, I can use snippet "abbr name of me" to learn an object type. But how can I keep track of the object type to use this information in a script located at the card object level rather than for example at the button object level? A concrete example of differences in button mouseup functioning:

Does SharedText work?
