Use of the word "Container" is a bit deceptive. Perhaps "datasource" would be better. Is it still possible to add notes to the dictionary? On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 5:11 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > I'd guess the last of the options. > > The more I think about this, the more I think there should be

Bi-directional JS is already being done, even in production. I don’t know what the plans are or how it’ll work with LC, but if it’s anything like some of the solutions out there now that connect to a mongoldb painlessly and is reactive in both the client and the server … it’ll be an awesome LC

Re: HTML5 Export and Javascript

Not LC, but I’ve done some higher level tools exporting to HTML5 stuff already. What you end up with is going to be Javascript, and HTML DOM. The higher level tool needs to give access to the DOM, at which point you should be able to talk to any other Javascript on the page.

Re: Repeat syntax addition

I'd guess the last of the options. The more I think about this, the more I think there should be mention of this in the dictionary entry for repeat. It's a little like the ability to use a function to create a sortkey in the sort command. Nothing in the dictionary about that except for a user no

Re: Repeat syntax addition

Yeah, kinda makes sense that it would work that way. Grab the data from the container once, do magic things behind the scenes to get it ready to go, then loop through the lines. I guess it could work either way though, where it uses byte offsets to get the next chunk, which would have made the fun

Actually, if the container is on the receiving end rather than the source end, it wouldn't work. But other than that, yeah. (obviously you can't "put" something into a function) There may be other exceptions I haven't though of. On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 2:41 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > Most likely

Wow, didn't know that, thanks. The dictionary doesn't give any clue that's possible, just uses "container" as what follows "in". Does that mean that anywhere the dictionary uses the word container, it can be a function call? Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser

Re: Repeat syntax addition

As long as you wrap your function in parens so that it forces evaluation first, then yeah. Have the function do your filter, and then return the filtered data. (not positive you even need the extra parens, but its a habit for me in cases like this.) repeat for each doesn't really care where the

While not exactly whats been requested, this works pretty well: repeat for each line tLine in (myFilter(sData,"abc*","with")) I like the way a where clause reads as in the OP, but being able to use an inline function for data generation is rather powerful, and if all you need is a filter, set

RE: Repeat syntax addition

Wouldn't it be nice if you could: Repeat for each line tLine in tLines index tIndex End repeat Where tIndex goes from 1 to (in this case) the number of lines in tLines. With such an elegant repeat loop in LC it kills me to do a: Local tIndex put 1 into tIndex Repeat for each line tLine in tLine

I'm not sure if it will even be possible; it was certainly never their intent. The obfuscation is like a tamper-resistant seal on a medicine bottle. Nothing is hack-proof, but it won't be easy, unless LiveCode provides some special preference to leave certain sections of code "programmer readable
