Re: QR code

Thank You So much Klaus!
I feel embarrassed that I did not check the dictionary in the first place!

I think this will work for me.

Re: QR code

Hi Klaus,
The amount of data that I need in the QR Code is well below the maximum capacity of a QR Code.
Maybe 10 or 15 one to 3 word fields at most.
My question is how would I implement the generation of a QR code using Live Code if it is possible?

Thanks.
Tom

Copy the Last Line of a .txt file

I want to be able to copythe last line in a txt file. The file can get very long so I don't want to scroll through the entire file.
I have tried several things without success.
