iOS simulator not found after updating LC and Xcode

Hi, Yesterday I updated Xcode to 8.1 and LiveCode to version 8.1.1 and now LiveCode can’t find any simulators for iOS. In the Livecode preferences the list with simulators is empty. When I click Add Entry and select the new Xcode app, it gives an error: "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS S

Yep Thierry is right - still too early to use Xcode 8.1.1 BTW if you’re going to have multiple versions of Xcode on you machine (which is a sensible thing to do if you’re going to have multiple versions of LiveCode on your machine) the safest way of doing this is to have each of them in their ow

Apps on iPad Pro

Hi All, This message is more of an FYI than a request for help. I had the chance yesterday for the first time to look at several of my apps on a 12.9‑inch iPad Pro. They were downloaded from the app store. The iPad was using iOS 10.01. I’m afraid my development notes didn’t include which versi

Re: disabled on 10/28 for bounces--to gmail???

I was also de-subscribed for excessive bounces - and I'm not using gmail. I wonder whether it was related to the great DYN attack of October 21st? (Probably not - my suspension started on October 28th, and for various reasons it took me a few days to see what was happening and re-subscribe.)

Re: tableField . . . refering to columns

A regular table field is TAB delimited. Also, refer to your "column" as "item". Try this: on mouseUp set the itemDelimiter to "^" put line 1 of fld "fPRE" into PREE1 set the itemDeliniter to TAB put item 1 of PREE1 into item 1 of line 1 of fld "fTF" end mouseUp ~Roger On Thu, Nov

Re: tableField . . . refering to columns

Correction: You can't use 2 different item delimiters in the same command. on mouseUp set the itemDelimiter to "^" put line 1 of fld "fPRE" into PREE1 put item 1 of PREE1 into tJustTheItem set the itemDeliniter to TAB put tJustTheItem into item 1 of line 1 of fld "fTF" end mouseUp

Re: tableField . . . refering to columns

What is “column 1” in your mouseUp handler? As far as I know that doesn’t refer to a reserved word in LC… so that will cause a bump in the code. What do you get if you replace that line of code with: answer item 1 of PREE1 be well, randy > On Nov 3, 2016, at 1:54 PM, Richmond wrote: > > So:

Re: tableField . . . refering to columns

The why has been covered.. no "column" delimiter, and the fact that.. if it were to actually work, putting item 1 of your sample data into item 1 of the field should put the item separated by the specified item delimiter.. so there would be no change. (unless as above you use 2 delimiters Meaning

Scripting style: Verbs in function names

Hi LiveCoders In a PR I have open Peter has asked me to `Please name this function with a verb` and I recognised that in LiveCode this is something I don’t do out of habit while in other languages it is. Why? Because in the context the a function is used there is already a verb in the statement

Re: Scripting style: Verbs in function names

When I'm creating commands I make it a verb. Or at least as verbish as possible. When I'm creating functions I'm inconsistent. The more common function usage is not as a verb: put ThePartNumberOf(someText) into tLine but I also do things like put Tag.Italicize(someText) into tItalicizedText

Re: Scripting style: Verbs in function names

All the "native" LC functions are nouns. The reason is that LC functions can be used with either parentheses or preceded by "the". So we get this: put the date put the selectedChunk put the target If these were verbs: put the getDate put the getSelectedChunk put the getTarget whic

Monte. I think it is more than purely symmetrical "Coke" or Pepsi" Functions return a value. It is far more natural for me to use a verb: put GoOutThereAndGetAValue() ... Though I must admit that any "subRoutine" call is asking for work to be done elsewhere, so that even a handler is also simil

Re: Scripting style: Verbs in function names

I like Devin's reasoning on this. One of the great benefits we enjoy in using LiveCode is the "English-like" syntax. This is one of LC's hallmark features. As I see it, we should work to preserve it and extend it in our naming of commands and functions. My 2 cents' worth - Phil Davis On 11/3

Of course, just to be contrary, English has lots of grammatical inconsistencies. So if one of the goals of LiveCode script is to be "English-like" shouldn't it have a few grammatical inconsistencies too? On 11/3/2016 7:43 PM, Monte Goulding wrote: >> On 4 Nov. 2016, at 10:21 am, Phil Davis wrote
