LC is still 32 bit, so even if the newer versions were ok for cgi it wouldn't work without the 32 bit libs. LC server has the same limitation. I too look forward to the open sourcing so some of this can be addressed. When they ask you what is in the 32 bit libs and what specific libs you need you

searching an array?

Okay array experts. I need help. :-) Is there any way to search and/or filter an array? I'm not finding anything in the docs, but I probably don't know what I'm looking for. My only thought was to use combine to convert the array to a list, and then use the filter command to locate what I need.

Re: searching an array?

it might be possible to arrayencode the array and search that. If its a text only search it doesn't look like this should be too awful bad as long as key names and text entries stay clear text (it seems they do) Looking at the data there is a definite pattern. Would it be worth it? Probably not

Hi Tom, My sense of things matches yours… however, with mass mailings it's pretty easy to know how much each mailing cost… how do you determine the "value/cost" of something that is free? … especially if it's always been free… be well, randy - On Apr 4, 2013, at 8:58 AM, Thomas McGrath III

Re: searching an array?

I've usually just bitten the bullet and done it with nested repeat loops going through the various levels of keys. It's pretty simple code and I've always found array handling to be extremely fast so unless you have huge numbers of keys, it will probably work fine. Pete lcSQL Software

Thanks, Mike. Eventually this data will be stored in a SQLite db. I'm just working on a proof of concept right now and am not quite ready to create the database. I'm not sure about using arrayEncode(), as it returns a bunch of binary gobbledegook that may be difficult to decipher, but I may loo

The context of this is providing a "lite"/free and paid for version of a plugin. The free version will not have the full functionality of the paid for version. I'm struggling with the best way to deal with the codebase for this situation. I can set a custom property to define which version I'm

I have a stack (like everyone else) and the 'Master' card contains all the objects needed to make a complete window. Some of the buttons are needed for separate cards, but not all of the cards. When I need one I do the standard thing, push -> go to master card -> copy one of the buttons -> pop ->
