Knowing you want to do everything on Ubuntu, this may not be of interest to you, but there's a Mac front end that makes things pretty easy. I haven't done a huge amount with it (I'm a complete novice), but was able to configure everything and link to client repositories without reading any docs.

I'm no git master by any stretch of the imagination. I've used it for quite awhile to find code though. I just recently got into repositories and team collaboration. Remember, github isn't the only place to use git. There's places like BitBucket, and GitLab; the pricing structures are quite dif

Ha! Some of those things are easier than others. For just going there and downloading source, I think it can be easy, go to the URL, click the download zip button. For signing up, and getting the rights to submit things, it’s harder. This may be a good starting point: https://help.github.com/a

You're right Ben - your general approach can be combined with my (simple minded) approach, and a few simple checks thrown in to give us a general function (reasonably, but not comprehensively, tested - up to things like "token 3 of word 2 to 4 of line 3 to 7" ...) on mouseup local myChunk,

GitHub starter guide?

GitHub seems very powerful, but it seems usability takes a back seat there. I'd like to start using it and encourage others to as well, but at first glance it's dauntingly opaque to the point of off-putting. Anyone here know of a good guide to get started with it? TIA - -- Richard Gaskin F

Function to Remove HTML Tags from Text

Hello everyone, Is there a LiveCode function that will remove all HTML tags from some text? I know how to do it in Mathematica but not LiveCode. I tinkered with MatchText (maybe in combination with ReplaceText?) but I don’t think I’m getting the regular expression right (I rarely use regex) and

Gregory: Search for “browser” in the documents API, that you can find under the “Help” menu when in livecode IDE. It’s amazingly easy to set this up and you have a field that will render your web page the same as your browser (hopefully). I have used it to play YouTube movies, in addition to si

Well, he did say he wanted the text files to look “something like they do in a browser”. That’s an easy way to at least be able to easily read the html text in a field. But you’re right, it’s not ideal for high-quality display. Devin On Apr 30, 2015, at 4:10 PM, Scott Rossi wrote: > Using ht

Hi Devin Asay and Scott Rossi, Thanks for responding. Devin, what Scott says is true: for many of the files the tags continue to appear in the stack’s field. Scott, you mention a browser object. Where would I find it? I can’t find one in the LiveCode’s Tools palette or under the Object menu. I

Hi Alex, Yes that's that approach I was trying to make a relatively general version of (see my response 16:50) to handle arbitrarily complex chunk expressions - but it would still fail (in fact probably worse?) with chunk 1. But I think the principle is right. Ben On 30/04/2015 23:26, Alex

I’ve found that when LiveCode saves the stack script file, it adds a Byte Order Mark (BOM) to denote the file is UTF-8 encoded. If the BOM is not present when you start using such a library stack, the engine will treat it as being natively encoding. I have found that to be true with both the IDE a
