Just so. I spoke too carelessly, forgetting, as usual, that LC has features
that HC could not dream of.

It undoes your first sentence.
It calls the equivalent of what we old readers of Inside Mac used to
call GetNextEvent, a
wait 0 ticks -- allows the screen to update
wait 0 ticks with messages -- allows the user to interact with your
interface
So:
on mouseUp
repeat 1
add 1 to fld 1
end repeat
end mouseUp
put 1 into the fld and run the above script, the script runs for a second
or so with no visual c
There are very legitimate places for "wait", though more robust code can
usually be written with "send (in time)". This has been going on for 27 years.
Wait is blocking. An idle handler will be locked out just like everything else.

Only reason I can think to put a wait command in a running script is to give a
change for an on idle handler to be triggered. If you DO have an idle handler
running somewhere and IT has a problem that causes the engine to exit to top,
that might be your bugaboo.

I just spent a couple of hours debugging some code and narrowed it down to
a "wait 0 with messages" command.
WIth that command in my script, nothing after it seems to get executed.
When I take that command out, all works fine.
I'm obviously misunderstanding how the wait command works. I assumed
Thanks Peter, I hadn't remember seeing that one.
While it is a useful handler, it's hard to see how to extend it to
operate on chunks, because ...

characters not already within a tag). You can't do that if you're

It can save as .exe but not as an external. You would call it from

Hello,
I need to do a bit of GUI scripting for a small project. I can do it just
fine on the mac using Applescript. But I have no idea whats possible on
the windows side. And I need windows :-(
Are there any LiveCode externals for doing screen automation?
What about PowerShell?
Thanks

Anyone know if there's a combination of CR and/or LF (or something else)
that can be used when posting a text file on a server so that LiveCode is
able to understand the line returns when reading the file from the server?
In the tests I'm doing, I get inconsistent results. With some files,
