Hello Ya'll, I am trying to sort some tab delimited data by item 1 of each. Item 1 of each is a name and a number. Kansas 1 Kansas 3 MO 3 MO 8 Anyhow, when I run the sort as sort lines of sReportText by item 1 of each I get it sorted pretty close, but entries with the same name and a differen

Hi Andrew, AFAIR, you can pile the sort command one after the other, as: sort lines of sReportText numeric by item 2 of each sort lines of sReportText by item 1 of each HTH. Thierry Thierry Douez - http://sunny-tdz.com Maker of sunnYperl

Dynamically Creating Buttons

I have been searching this mailing list and the forums at runrev for an answer before I post. Without having any objects on a card, does anyone have notes on how to create a button and position it to the coordinates of 5,5 In my application, I am to the point now to taking each record from a

Re: Dynamically Creating Buttons

Hi Graham, Your best friend may be the templateButton. You can set the properties of it before issuing the create button command so it looks exactly what you want. To set the position you want, I'd use the topLeft property and the name or label property for the text to appear in the button. Only

Re: Dynamically Creating Buttons

See the create command in the dictionary. Then just position using the location property or left, right, top, bottom properties as needed. You might be better off populating a field or data grid, however, depending on your requirements. Chris -- Chris Sheffield Read Naturally, Inc. www.readna

Re: text sortType

be sure to set the itemdelimiter to the desired delimiter just before the sort. Just like the state of the result, it's good to be explicit. You might have set the delimiter to something else in the handler. On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 10:33 AM, Tiemo Hollmann TB wrote: > How about sorting twice >

Re: text sortType

There is an undocumented feature, though it is noted in the user notes under "sort" and "sort container" in the dictionary: sort by sortKey1 & sortKey2 & sortKey3... all in one line. Both methods produce stable multiple sorts. Craig Newman -Original Message- From: Tiemo Hollma

Ah, I should have been more clear in my example. Item 1 is a string consisting of a name and a number with a space in between. The other items I have not provided examples of here, because they contain information unrelated to the sort but may have made what I am trying to do more clear. If i so

Nice! It bugs me that in some cases they use forks to present different variations, while in others they just change the text in the box (sometimes more than once). On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 8:49 PM, Bill Vlahos wrote: > This doesn't have anything to do with LiveCode or me but it is so clever I >

Re: text sortType

I think this and Geoff's are good! This one is more general if you can come up with some sort of metric or sortvalue for each item/list. Geoff's is simpler for this case. The speed difference will depend on the length of the list. Shouldn't the zero be put 'before' instead of 'after' to for

Re: text sortType

Whoops, I didn't read Peter's solution all the way. I guessed at what he was doing instead of giving it the attention it deserved. I guess my thumbs up was for using the sorting value function and for putting in zero digits. I would (off the top of my head) simplify (and change) that to this:

Yes, Geoff's is definitely simpler, hadn't seen it when I made my post. It did give me the opportunity to finally use the custom function feature of the sort command though! I like the shortcut! "After" is right in my code - I put the words into tKey, then the zeros, then the number. With your

Great minds think alike! That is the same return command I used! Switching to capital L is a good idea, lower case l is hard to read. And you are right, I was so caught up in how I wanted to do it, I didn't see that yours should work, too, based on 'after'. And you are right, this is a good

Interesting -- this works in one line: sort lines of x by word 1 to -2 of item 1 of each & char -10 to -1 of ("00" & word -1 of item 1 of each) I'm a little put off by not using the native "numeric" -- I'd be worried that something I'm not thinking of right now would break it. But neve
