Re: Help with ampersand in xml

Chris, In theory you can't have ampersands in XML because it assumes it is an entity. You can try using & but it shouldn't work because XML is not HTML. I will tell you my dirty trick for dealing with ampersands. Its a very boring trick. TRICK #1: I replace every ampersand with something like:

Re: Explicit Variables again

Richard, When this recently occurred when I started reworking one of my old projects, I was non-plussed, having actually forgotten how to declare vars explicitly. (smile) With my very poor vision I started looking for instances in which I had done so in the past and could not find any. So I am

Tom Mcgrath did some work on this using mergAccessory. He was writing a library for it. I haven't heard much about his project for a while though. Basically if its a Made for iPhone accessory you can use mergAccessory to work with it. You just need docs about the protocol it uses. Cheers Monte

Re: Explicit Variables again

I wouldn't worry too much about making your scripts "compliant" with explicitvars. There are probably some users who run with it on, but not many. The IDE itself doesn't really use it except during compilation only, it seems - here's where the dizzyingly long chain of commands that gets invok

Pete, It is possible to toggle it via the Edit menu when you have a script window open. Still a hassle, but doesn't take nearly as long as opening the prefs and doing it that way. Chris -- Chris Sheffield Read Naturally, Inc. www.readnaturally.com On Oct 18, 2012, at 11:20 AM, Peter Hawort
