Re: Problem with Convert

Thanks Ken. I read the notes on the bug you cited andI think what I experienced is a different problem. I'm seeing empty in the dateitems, not an unexpected month/day number. Even if it is a doc bug, I don't see any changes in the dictionary that gives me any clue that what I was doing would only

MetaCard IDE and groups

I have a baffling condition. Over the many years I have used MetaCard in my lab (and, yes, I still use that IDE), the one reliable object was the group. Group a bunch of objects and you can cut and paste and reuse them as a group everywhere. The key feature with a group is that it acts like o

Shell mail command with -b flag

2012-02-04 Thread J. Landman Gay
The mail command in a shell script is supposed to support a "-b" flag to allow blind carbon copies. I've tried it on two different servers and can't get it to work. Is this something that IPs turn off to prevent spammers? Is there another way to shell out a bcc? I notice in the LiveCode lesson

Re: Probelm with Convert

2012-02-04 Thread Björnke von Gierke
I'd say this is a bug. There's often problems with convert and system dates. Because of that, I suggest only to convert _into_ system date, but never _from_ it. That way, you will only use 'fixed' dates, and they are always an expected format for convert, so you won't run into random problems wi

Hi Ray, It seems your only choices are (1) put your stack outside the realm of those stacks flushing the events, or (2) structure your script so it isn't using messages to run. Approach #1 means running it under a different instance of the engine (e.g. as a standalone that communicates with

Idle Messages to Hidden Stacks

I thought idle handlers ran in hidden stacks as long as they were top level. Seems this has gone away. Any ideas on this? I'm trying to get an idle handler to run in a hidden stack but I can only send messages from that same stack. Sending "idle" from the stack to itself in X seconds is not

Hi Ray, The first number is the error code, the second is the line on which the number happened and the third number is the character position of the faulty code. This is often but not always followed by a word indicating that faulty code. Usually there are mutliple lines in a raw error message
