Re: Standard Library

I was interested in using a if then replace combination but it seems it might be better done in LiveCode using repeat for each. If the speed is not considerably faster with regex it is not worth the trouble. The ability to read my code like I am used to is more important than a small increase in

Re: Standard Library

That is nice to know! I was thinking I would speed up the longer text processing. You just did me a favor and save me a lot of time plus made it easier and faster by not using regex for text processing. I still appreciate the info others gave because I know I will use regex from time to time. J

Re: Standard Library

I have very occasionally tried regex and can see that it is very powerful, but to me it's also extremely opaque and I've never climbed far up the rather steep learning curve. Partly this is because I've found that essentially all of the stuff I would need regex for is do-able in native LC, whose

Re: WP application

Thanks Alex, that's certainly very helpful! I had this vague feeling that I was thinking about this the wrong way and you confirmed that. I just need to decide how wide I want my "viewport" to be and the rest is the calculation you described. This is a group with buttons/ruler/content field right

Peter, (you might find this a really unhelpful reply, but I hope not). I think you're looking at this backwards. As a user of a WP app, I don't know, think or care about pixels. What I am doing is preparing a piece of paper - whether it's A4 or letter-size or whatever - I am working towards m

WP application

I've put together a mini word processing stack within an LC app. All is working fine except that the ruler I display at the top of the input field to show margins, indents and tabs is currently laid out in pixels since most of the field and paragraph settings work in pixels. All the WP applicatio

I have a bunch of long running scripts. I structure them so that they pause between cycles. By that I mean, if I am processing a bunch of files, I might have a field where I list all the files and then I trigger a script that processes the first unprocessed file in the list. When there are no un

Re: Execution of a "long" script

Thanks Richard! I was concerned about it after the question was brought up because there is a chance someone will select a lot of files to process and I have never tested LiveCode with scripts that take a long time. I was glad the question was asked because it made me take into consideration of a

Why do you waste your time attacking me? You have no clue what I am even writing or if my program was going to fall in the category of using long scripts. My question for you since you will be a user is when are you going to pay? You won’t be getting a complimentary copy. John Balgenorth On Au

What if you are dong large scripts that tale many hours and the user decodes to do things that will slow it down. Whwn you are using Time Machine you can trust that it will keep working and not cause a crash. At least I have never had it crash. Can you trust this large script will not crash or s

Hi Jacque, Trying to build a 12x12 round marker, I realized that the markers coordinates 0,0 are positioned on the polygon vertex... so my previous circle was not correctly centered. And, a circle of 8x8 or 12x12 never will, you have to use odd numbers of pixels to have the marker well centere
