Re: Get external page source?
This can be tricky in a world where web content is increasingly assembled dynamically in divs with JS.
If just getting the URL isn't doing what you need, that may be the issue.
Does the host offer an API to get the data you're looking for? Can you tell us more about the page?

Re: referring to other stacks: include .livecode extension
Without seeing the code in question we can only guess.

Re: Screen freezes about 30 seconds after exiting repeat loop
Without an example stack we're just guessing. With one we can probably resolve this in minutes.

Re: image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards
Put the image unique to each card on the card instead of the shared background.

Re: [SOLVED] Can we login to Gmail with TSNet or do we need OAuth?
Bad news for anyone doing this, Gmail and Microsoft are abandoning support for less secure apps. Without OAuth support mail will not be retrievable I fear. I get this same error with office.com. I administer the mail domain, but I can no longer find a place to enter an app password. This is why I h...

Re: cutting irregular pieces from image for puzzle game
One could conceivably place polygon objects over the image, and perform a loop in which all but one of the polys set their fill color to match the card color, then use the snapshot command to grab the resulting piece. Tedious, though, to place those polys. Unless this is an exercise for learning, th...

Re: Forum behaviour change?
DDoS attacks are definitely on the rise. But unlike spam, there's no money to be made doing it, other than by renting out the infrastructure needed to pull it off. LC Ltd is not involved in any political or ideological controversy, and even if they were they're not big enough to warrant attack. Any ...

Re: Editable fields?
Thank you for that reminder, Stam. It's good to see them pick up where they left of on the foundational work we first saw hinted at with the language features added for the DataGrid. The LC field object is quite an accomplishment, among the better text engines I've seen, certainly the most feature-r...

Editable fields?
Way back in the early days LCB didn't offer a way to create editable text fields. I'm considering LCB for a new widget, but among the other primitives I'd need is an editable text field. Is that supported these days?

Re: I didn't know commas were letters
My 'problem' with trueWord is that if I throw 'cheese|smelly' at it it splits that up into 2 words when for my needs I need to treat it as a 2 item thing with '|' as the itemDelimiter. Specialized data formats unrelated to natural language will need different methods than parsing natural language. ...

Re: I didn't know commas were letters
Ah, pointing out the "specialNess" of the word delimiter, space, is timely. I haven't thought about this in decades. It is special in just the way you said, a string of spaces of arbitrary length is a countable string of chars, but only one delimiter. I assume that construct is deeply buried in the...

Re: I didn't know commas were letters
@ Richard. I dunno, I do not see the issue with aa, bb, cc being three words, that is, space is the word delimiter, period. Something that offers a space delimiter is useful, and "word" has a feature the standard item delimiter doesn't, in not counting multiple delimiters as delimiting empty chunks...

Re: I didn't know commas were letters
I am NOT expecting the comma to be treated either as a word or part of a word, I am expecting it to be treated as punctuation: obviously the term word is unable to distinguish that. HyperCard got a lot of things right. Its novel redefinition of "word" isn't among them. I have no reason to mislead y...
