Re: IDE won't load -- sudden new issue

FYI to any who have the same problem in future, support suggested the following: ===== C:/Users/your_user_name/AppData/Roaming/RunRev/Preferences/ (note that `AppData` folder is hidden, so you need to enable "show hidden folders") Just delete any files you find in Preferences and try restarting Live...

IDE won't load -- sudden new issue

I've run into a weird issue I can't solve. It happens in nine six and nine eleven and 10dp8 on Windows eleven. (Board tells me I can't type digits since they might be external URLs....) I've been using it for years, and yesterday was working on a stack. Very simple, just literally one card, two fiel...

Re: Lookup table with split command not working?

Why does the data need to be in an array structure specifically? I'm just playing around and had used that sort of structure before--but I'm entirely self-taught except for one Fortran 77 class I took back in the 1990s, so there may be better ways of achieving the same thing. :-) In this case, I ha...

However when sharing code, it's good practice to copy/paste the code in the message and surround it with [ code] and [/ code]* tags (just select the code you paste in and click the 'code display' button above t...

Re: Lookup table with split command not working?

For those who might search this later, I was going to post my commented code that has subroutines to do this (though not as elegantly as Jacques above). May help learners besides me. However, when I try to include it, the board says "You can’t post image, email or url links that are external to this...

Lookup table with split command not working?

This feels like it should be very simple, but I'm banging my head. I want to take an good old-fashioned tab-separated set of values with returns at the end of each line, like the following table: ######################################### # Type # a # b # c # #########################################...
