Re: Finding orphaned "put"

IIRC the trick with revMessageBoxRedirect is to obtain the value of the Message Box contents from the global variable "message" (or "msg"). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for Desktop, Mobile, and Web

Re: Finding orphaned "put"

I can't quite seem to figure out how that works. (With both 5.5.3 and 6.0, I get the following ) If I set revMessageBoxRedirect to the long ID of a field, then the contents of the field get updated as though it had been the message box; i.e. the field is updated, but there is no "msgChange

Hi William, Academic at this point but I couldn't resist improving this a bit! I can make it exclude single line comments starting with "--" (or whatever you use for comment indicators) but can't think of a way to deal with block comments, or comments part way through a line. Here's the regexp fo

Hi Scott, This will list lines that have a continuation char - "/" - at the end with into/after/before on the next line. Pretty remote circumstance but I tend to do that if I have a particularly long source with lots of "&" and "&&" to make it more readable. Still think the regexp approach is the
