Hanging indents?

Just a straight put is the way to go. Don't think you can "put before" because it doesn't have direct control of the console terminal scroll and cursor position. SO to achieve the same thing you could.. put "Hello " put "World" put return On Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Peter W A Wood wrote: >

By experimenting, it seems that “putting” text into or after the message box container results in the test being output to the console (perhaps stdout, perhaps stderr). Running this script under LiveCodeServer: put "Hello" into message box put " World" after message box

Ah k, so it would be situational. After reading back in the thread some, I suspect the tests would be 2 different strings, so testing for both would be necessary. I was just not grokking the double. Probably just easier to set up a single string and check for it twice. Either way, it runs throug

Actually it may be a bit faster with the two tests if a lot of them match at the beginning. Testing at the beginning (begins with) is a lot faster than spinning through the entire thing (contains), and if the first clause of the OR is satisfied, it won’t execute the second clause. So, maybe. I

That is something to be aware of. The purpose of a script only stack is to be text on disk... Password protection requires binary output, so in that case you might as well just use a normal stack. Mark Sent from my iPhone > On 23 Apr 2015, at 17:49, Peter Haworth wrote: > > Not sure if this

Not sure if this is a problem or not but it appears that any password I set on the stack isn't retained. If I remove the stack from memory and re-open it, the password isn't retained. I guess just something to be aware of rather than a problem. Pete lcSQL Software Home of

Hi John, What is the error you get? Why do you have return in your syntax? Usually, SQLite syntax doesn't contain returns (even though it can). If you want to include a return as part of data, you need to encode or escape it. Additionally, you're combining curly quotes with straight quotes.
