Re: Decode Little Endian



I've tried all of the following but can't find a way to get it to come out to 2022..:

put baseConvert("E607" ,16,10) into t ... this comes out as 58887



Hi,

As said in the subject: little Endian.

Have you tried reversing the 2 bytes, as:

put baseConvert("07E6" ,16,10) into t

Re: Finding text without variants


Hi Thierry,

What a nice surprise to see you here again.
And what a wonder of Regex you brought along.
It works like a charm. (It even might be a charm).

Re: Finding text without variants


Hi Bruce,

Your actual data is a bit different from the first snippets that you posted.

As you noticed in your code:
Tab is the column delimiter and CYMK and Lab values have leading zeroes for 7 characters and wavelengths have trailing spaces for 6 characters.

I changed the code by removing all ...

Re: Getting Index of Characters


Thanks Thierry.
I get why the charOffset works, but not quite sure why the paragraph number will only work when it is 1.

It will work on paragraph 1 because the offsets you are catching with offset(),
are based on the 1st character of your text,
the same as the first character of paragraph 1 ...

Re: Getting Index of Characters

Hi Xero,

Replace this line:

replace y with "?" in character tCharOffset of paragraph tParaOffset in tText

with:

replace y with "?" in character tCharOffset in tText

and I guess it should work better...
Your original line will work only and only if tParaOffset is 1.

and for fun all these ...

Re: Win: "launch [doc] with [app]" fails, & workaround

Hi Axwald,

Ok, first I think you have to pass only 1 string to the shell() function.

Second, I believe the command you are looking for new Win box is: start /b aCommand
which should be the equivalent of aCommand& in Mac/Unix.

Really cool, I like that the stack holds the Icons themselves... no external images storage !


Yep, that's why I told you to check the dictionary for the options...
