Re: Triggering LC scripts when emails are received

Hi Mattias I believe that it is safer to install executables outside the public_html directory as it gives the possibility for somebody who knows how to run their scripts on your server. I don't know how to do that but I have a /bin directory at the same level as public_html for executables wh

Hi list, I need to trigger LC scripts (on an on-rev account or with LC server) when an email is received on an email address. The address will be the same but email senders will vary and according to the sender's email, different scripts will be triggered. The idea is to process the content of the

Re: alternative to do for loading variables from array?

Another approach: If you're worried about the number of compiles, you could build your block of code in the repeat loop and then run it with a single "do" afterward. (or to work around the 10-line limit for do statements, build 10 lines at a time and run them, then build 10 more...) Phil Davis

Decompiling does not result in original source code. As it is, the kiddies can just copy/paste. The dump that Kaspersky included, even had a line that was commented out. Think about it - if you have the Pro version, yeah, your source is encrypted, until it's decrypted when the app is loaded. Th
