LiveCode Forums.

Is it possible the OP is talking about the form "do as AppleScript", and wants some data to return to LC?

I think right now it is best to let the original poster explain in more detail what he wants.

Hi Stam,

I am not sure what the OP has in mind either.
I figured the OP has a Livecode thing running that uses the parameter from "service menu applescript" outside of LC to process it in a Livecode stack.
That is what the example shows. The AScript would be integrated in the external process.
I ...

The video in youtube looks very impressive. Thank you.

hi sipsuper,

Long ago I did some inter application communication using AppleScript. LC's AppleScript support is limited. Digging in my old AS scripts I adapted one to what I think is similar to what you have in mind.
The AppleScript script: (use apple script's ScriptEditor to trigger the AS script ...

I was intrigued by this thread because I am always a bit confused by addressing the custom properties.

You could simplify the script of button to:

on menuPick itemPicked
put the itemPicked of me into field "testTekst"
end menuPick


Your first attempt did not work because you were ...

Hi Trevix,

Using the "inputTextChanged" command seems to be the way to go but I cannot figure out.

Maybe you could react to the "inputTextChanged" message to trigger a handler with

put mobileControlGet(tControlID, "text") into myText
then do your filtering on myText
and then mobileControlSet ...

The stack has 2 fields where you put the scripts to compare. You can use the whole scripts with all handlers and put them into their fields ("old" and "new"). If you put two completely different texts the diff can take a long time and you might want to interrupt it with command + ".".
The stack does ...

The task was to break up short texts into 3, 4 or 5 paragraphs. I manged that by counting full stops "." and determine the number of sentences that should make up a paragraph

The question is how many sentences are there.

I have absolutely no objection to using Regex whatsoever, but IFF something can be done in xTalk 'pure and simple' why resort to it?

How do you resolve this?
El Banco Nacional de México, S.A. ("Banamex"), Teléfonos de México, S.A.B. de C.V. ("TELMEX"), Operadora de Cinemas, S.A. de C.V ...

However:

A knockout (abbreviated to KO or K.O.) is a fight-ending...

(From Wikipedia)

Since not all abbreviations might end in ".g. " and it is hard to tell which abbreviations might appear in text I resorted to Regex.

That is the whole point of my post.

Hi Emily-Elizabeth,

Here are some observations:

My Mac: Macbook Pro M1 chip; System 15.7.4 Sequoia

Field object with horizontal scrollbar visible:
dragging the scrollbar with mouse makes the scrollbar go to top or button. No intermediate positions. Scrollbar does not ...

Hi Emily-Elisabeth,

Thank you for the link. I downloaded the app and it started alright. Will have to play with it tomorrow since it is getting late over here in Europe.

Kind regards

Hi Emily-Elizabeth

There is a new DMG on the GitHub release page that has been signed and notarized.

I can not find the "DMG". Could you post a link please?
I assume that "DMG" is the usual way to distribute an app on a Mac. Compiling and code signing is beyond my skills...

Kind regards
Bernd

When developing I often save the whole stack with an increasing version number. When going back to a previous version it can be hard to detect the differences between two versions.
There are probably many solutions out there to tackle this problem.

I used the diff library that is included in LC ...

Hi,

on the use-list there was a discussion how to find handlers in the IDE. Here is stack that searches all scriptifyed (".livecodescript") scripts in the current version of LC. Andreas and Craig were interested in the topic.

Leave search field empty and hit return to get all handler names ...
