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.
Kind regards

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. ("Cinemex")...

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.

Kind regards

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 follow ...

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

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 sinc...

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. Clicking...

Hi Greg,
Did you solve the problem? If so what was the problem?
Kind regards

Hi Greg, I tried this on my Mac: command mp.downloadFile put "https://unmixr.s3.amazonaws.com/a/167eb769-a1b9-47ac-b7ae-86ae6e5af3ed.mp3" into tURL put specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/" & "test.mp3" into tFile libURLDownloadToFile tURL, tFile, "DownloadComplete" end mp.downloadFile on DownloadCompl...

Craig, Would it be too much to ask you to make a small sample stack that shows how you populate and retrieve the custom properties of the field? And then post this sample stack here? I use custom properties a lot and never ran into issues you describe. It makes me nervous if there are problems lurki...

Hi Emily-Elisabeth, I found a slightly newer version of Photo Room that has all the current syntax, no need to look into that. That version is fast enough to process larger images. I would try with roughly 640 by 480 or so. Photo Room caches a version of the current image for undo. After emptying it...

Hi Emily-Elisabeth, The latest version of Photo-Room I have is here. Please mind that it was written in a rather old version of Revolution (the former name of Livecode). It works (mostly) but at the time it was written Christopher-Lee Bodell used instead of -> numtochar -> numToByte charToNum -> byt...

Hi Lagi, I tried to do an Audio import using 9.6.10 (9.6.9 crashes at startup on my Arm Mac using Sequoia 15.7.2) and it imported an .aiff and .wav file without problem using "select file/import as control/ audio file". The audio file showed up in the Project Browser and it played also. Kind regards...

Unfortunately "matchChunk" is not well explained in the dictionary. 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. However the texts could contain decimal numbers and the ...
