Re: Prevent a stack from opening

I do not encrypt the hd.
I just realized the my question is only this:
can stack encryption alone be enough to secure the info in the stack, as the only security is the access to the stack.

Re: Prevent a stack from opening

Well, I would have to say number 1. It is my password manager, and I preferred not to have it's password stored anywhere. So stack 1, through several steps, creates the password that will send me to the stack with all of my accounts/passwords. The actual stack with all of my info has no password to ...

Re: Prevent a stack from opening

I have one last question concerning this.

How secure is stack that "supposedly" can not be opened without another stack involved? The stack that I am trying to secure is password protected and the scripts cannot be read without de-encrypting them.

The first stack asks for a password, so you ...

Re: Prevent a stack from opening

I'm sorry about not posting the correct way. I simply forgot to.

The second stack has no password, or rather it's password changes each time I open it. The password is built through a fairly complex process in stack 1, and can be determined by reading a file there in the correct manner. So there is ...

Re: Prevent a stack from opening

They are not main and substack.
They are two separate stacks that work well until I build the first stack with the second stack just a stackfile.

Before the build, I cannot open the second stack, as it looks for that file"blag" and doesn't find and quits.
After the build, anyone with livecode ...

Prevent a stack from opening

I have two stacks. Stack one writes file "blah" when a certain condition is met"

All of this works fine:

open file 'blah' for write
write "123" to file "blah"
close file "blah"
go stack "two"


In my openstack handler in stack"two"I have this:

On openstack
if there is a file "blah" then
pass ...

Re: Sorting comma delimited items on one line

Sorry, but I have trouble making sense of the way things are answered in the dictionary.

This for instance seems reading another language:

sort [{lines | items} of] container [direction] [sortType] [by sortKey ]

But both of you solutions worked fine, and I do thank you both for the answers.

Sorting comma delimited items on one line

I have been trying to sort 10 comma delimited numbers on one line ,lowest to highest.

I have put the line of comma delimited number into a variable (call it mop) and tried:

sort mop numeric
or:
sort mop numeric ascending.

I thought I had used this years ago, but it seems not.

Every article I ...

Re: Apps not opening

I just tried the app on linux and it works well, and faster too.
I will look for a cure. As it stands I will only be able to build for Linux on this machine anyway.
I wonder now if there is a LC for linux 9.6.0 out there in the wild.
