Re: Dollar Sign Variables

Craig,
For some reason I'm experiencing multiple issues with the script editor window. Not only do I see the environment variables (preceded with the dollar sign) but the window is always popping up in odd places on my monitors. It also seems kind of add that I can't save changes to this stack. 


Can you think of any Livecode preference file (which is not getting 
uninstalled) that could be causing these problems?


Thanks,

Ray

This has worked for me without issue for years, in my several versions of both 
Commercial and Community. I do have to save the debugger script, and then quit 
LC for the changes to stick, but never see the errors you do.

Theiry, Craig,

This method works:

http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2012-February/169029.html

but it can't be saved, forcing me to do a lot of work-around each time I
open Livecode.  It seems I have a permission issue.

Here's what I do:

Open Message Box, Show Front Scripts, Open stack "revDebugger"
Go to the function "revDebuggerValidGlobalNames" and add the following line:
     filter tGlobalsRaw without "grev*"

This works beautifully but it can't be saved.  If I try saving the
"revDebugger" stack from the message box I get the error:

     can't open stack backup file

If I quit I'm prompted to save changes to "revDebugger",
but when I choose to do so I get a longer error:

     Can't save stack revDebugger due to an error
     Can't open stack backup file
     Check the file path, and make sure you have sufficient permissions.

If I try a "save as" and then replace the existing support file with the
new one it completely corrupts my installation of Livecode forcing me to
download and re-install.

Is there something going on with my "permissions" that I can set to
allow the saving of changes to the "revDebugger" stack?

Thanks,

Ray

Hi.


This is one of my favorite things, courtesy of Thierry. Open the script of the

debugger and place this in its script. Replace the handler completely.





function revDebuggerValidGlobalNames
     local tGlobalsRaw
     put the globals into tGlobalsRaw

     
     replace comma with return in tGlobalsRaw
    
     filter tGlobalsRaw without "*(x86)"

      filter tGlobalsRaw without "$*"
       filter tGlobalsRaw without "grev*"
     replace return with comma in tGlobalsRaw

     
     return tGlobalsRaw

end revDebuggerValidGlobalNames


Peace at last.

Does anybody know of a way to stop the script editor from displaying all
the dollar sign variables?  I'll list a few, below, for reference.
Sometimes they don't show up for some reason but most of the time they
not only show up but they're listed at the top, causing a lot of
unnecessary scrolling to get to what I really need to see which is my
own variables.

Thanks,

Ray
