I have stated before that if you only need to do two things at once, and not many, you can simply create a standalone app that you can send messages to (with Windows you would probably need socket communications) and then that app would handle the process and return whatever data you needed in a

Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.

Hi Peter, The text you referred to describes the Javascript version of regex whereas Livecode uses the PCRE library. You can search for unicode characters in a regex using the \p, \P, or \X character classes, but the library has to be compiled to include the PCRE regex unicode libraries (I think) f

Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.

Buried in that list (see below) is an item noting that even the JavaScript version of regex lacks Unicode support. Does this mean that the LC version of regex will soon no longer work? Is this being addressed in Edinburgh? Or am I misinterpreting the situation? -- Peter Peter M. Brigham pmb...

Thanks for pointing that out Kay. I was curious to understand the differences and I found the following which might be of interest to folks. I cut it from http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html . As a casual regex user I have never had a problem, but your point is still very va

Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.

I don't speak regex myself, I am more like a tourist in Regexia and using google as my tourist phrase book. I google something like 'regex extract between two single quotes' then browse the results and try out the regex statements I find on my source text. I usually find something that works and

Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.

Here are three really good web sites that can help with regexp. I don't consider myself an expert by any means but I feel like I am now getting the hang of it. I give the credit to the creators of these sites. Such a valuable asset. -= Mike http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclasss

Re: Because LC can't do two things at once.

I like what you said about "not speaking Regex". I think that's the biggest problem people have with Regex: it's a language and if you don't know the syntax rules of any language, it doesn't make sense. Good analogy. Here's the regex for extracting what you want from the Mac output: '(\w*) Tra
