Hi all. I wanted to share what may be a useful command for filling in data and setting controls on a card. This assumes you have an array whose key names “match” control names with the following rules: Fields you want filled must begin with “fld” Checkboxes you want hilited must begin with “bt

Hi Ben, I think that the chunk names for unicode should be exactly the same as for english text, but they should act differently if either the text being operated on is unicode text or the useUnicode has been set to true. Note that other development tools don't have this problem at all. Oper

Maybe I'm misunderstanding since I don't have SQLYoga but if calls to the old format revOpenDatase are failing, that's a bug since every stack that opens an sqlite database will fail. If you don't need the ability to load extensions or change the way blobs work, no change should be required. Inci

Can someone explain how the “sentence" chunk would work? How are decimal points, and points in an abbreviation distinguished from the “period” that deliniates the end of a “sentence?” Does it presume that the exitsing text has special embedded “periods?” I’ve written my own, but it is very cumber

Ben. Why not "unicodeWord" or "uniWord". Roger takes that a step yet further, and, well, why not? For the sentence, is this a chunk delimited by a period and a space? For the paragraph, is this a chunk delimited by two returns? Craig Newman For the -Original Message- From: Roger
