Read Binary heads up

I want to give everyone a heads up. I created a handler to convert a Konica address book to a Toshiba one. First I open the Konica address book using binary read. But for some reason itemOffset was not working, and neither did “contains”. I couldn’t figure it out until I copy/pasted a line of th

I suppose you could also use textDecode(, “UTF-8”) to convert the text to that format. Bob S > On Oct 29, 2024, at 8:17 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > There is a Wikipedia article on this. Turns out it is not straightforward. > There can be a Byte Order Mar

Re: How to determine if a text file is UTF8 ?

There is a Wikipedia article on this. Turns out it is not straightforward. There can be a Byte Order Mark that the file begins with but not all vendors use it. And I do not think you can make the determination simply by examining the contents of the file. Byte-order mark[edit] If the Unicode b

Bring a stack to front when it is already open

This may seem simple, but for some reason it’s not working. I have a Views function that can open multiple windows in one click, but sometimes stacks can be obscured by others, so I have a Modules Menu where you can select a stack and it will open it. The problem is, Open Stack and Go Card x O

Group them then store the group as an array, but placing them won’t be any faster methinks. You can also arrayEncode the array first if you need it in a serialized format. Bob S > On Oct 16, 2024, at 7:19 AM, jbv via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi list, > > Is there a way to catch all contr
