Hi Geoff: I tried to follow your instructions but can't figure out where/how to submit a solution. Went to the 99 Bottles task but don't see LiveCode or Revolution listed in the available languages. So I'll post my function here, wait for you to rip it apart and explain how a regex solution would be 10x more efficient, and say do with it what you will :-)
function beerMe put "XX bottles of beer on the wall" into verseA put "Take one down, pass it around" into verseB repeat with N = 99 down to 1 put replaceText(verseA,"XX",N) & cr & word 1 to 4 of replaceText(verseA,"XX",N) & cr & verseB & cr & replaceText(verseA,"XX",N-1) & cr & cr after theSong end repeat return theSong end beerMe Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 7/7/13 7:50 PM, "Geoff Canyon" <gcan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, I moved the Revolution information to > http://rosettacode.org/wiki/LiveCode, rewrote some of it for accuracy, put > in a redirect on the revolution page to the livecode page, and added a > handful of solutions.
