Well, I think you are all great and I really appreciate the help. I like the regex solution --very nice Thierry.

Hi Bernd and Klaus, You both helped me so much! Thanks. I almost have it. I will adjust some things this weekend and see if I get it to work completely. I am able to parse the text and remove the space and tab characters between data points but the 3 to 6 word part is not finding the cmyk values. He...

Thank you Klaus. Despite me being a supporter of LiveCode since 2013 I really have not done much with it. My old age (63) and time to "play" has limited my programming skills and knowledge. Anyway, I am playing with what you have sent me and I will figure it out. My ultimate goal is to find in the m...

I am parsing a CGATS text file (color measurement file). If you look at the header we have "BEGIN_DATA_FORMAT" and further down we have "BEGIN_DATA". I want to skip the first one (..._FORMAT) and go directly to the second one. I have tried the various Find options but it always selects the first one...

Hi Klaus,
I forgot to say thank you. You nailed it. My program is complete and works great. Small insignificant it is but got to start somewhere!

Thanks Simon.. The revCopy method is better because it does not load into memory. It is just like a shell command "copy" The files i am copying are big. But thanks for the alternative method.. It is good to know.

Thanks i just emailed support. maybe they sent it and i just missed it.. anyway thanks!

Oh my god it works! I now know what happened before. My variables were not being transfered from button code to next button code. With all the trials of getting the code to work i dropped the revCopyFile command thinking that was the problem. Anyway, Thank you for you help. here is my finished progr...

I noticed that some forum members have a logo that they helped kick start livecode. Well I am not a professional programmer but bought a commercial license a year or so back $500. When the Kick Starter program started I dished out I forget a $150 or so ??? Was that special logo for contributors who ...

Hi Sparkout.. Thanks.. I thought I tried this already but I will give it a go and report back. If it works.. my apologies for getting frustrated. I need to use revCopy because I am using it for very large TIFF images.. really big.. as in billboard size but within the limits of most programs that han...

I started writing a program that I thought would be a breeze but is turning into a major undertaking. The user will select a file and the user will enter a number of times it will copied and renamed with a number. So user selects "myfile.pdf" enters into a field the number of copies they want. By de...

Hi I did not get back to this until today but you jogged my memory of the syntax. Here is the correct code that works! on mouseUp ## Ask the user to choose a file answer file "Please choose a file" ## If the dialog is not cancelled put the path to the selected file into a variable if the result is n...

I am writing a very simple program that allows a user to select a file then in a number of copies field it will copy the file to the same directory as default but will also allow the user to select a different directory if they wish. The Gui is simple: Select file Display filename only in field of f...
