I accidentally dropped a paren.

Try this.. (should work in a message box)

 put ".*([0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]).*" into tstring
   get matchtext(url ("binfile:" & "path/to/standalone.exe",
tstring,tMatch)
   put tMatch

Not sure it'll work every time, but it's worked on everything I've tried
from 4.6.1 to 8.0.1

Hi Colin,

Thanks for this - looks like an excellent method but AFAICT this only
works for more recent versions (i.e. works for LC8, doesn't work for LC6,
I'm looking at something like LC3-LC5....!

Anyone know a way that works with older versions?

(Also thanks Andy and Phil; as well as adding the logo, I updated the
logger to include the engine version as well as my build number - some of
my other apps have done this for years, alas this one didn't...)

Many thanks,


Ben
