Thanks

Re: literal short date

Hi Jean-Mar,

I tried:

put calculateAge(quote & tBirthday & quote) into tAge

and now it works fine, although I must remove the quotes in the function...

Strange thing is that I never had this problem in the past. It just started happening...

Re: literal short date

Hi Jean Marc,

I understand your code, and it is nearly identical to the code I am using for the rest of the calculate age handler. The problem is that when I write:

put "11/18/1947" into tBirthday
put calculateAge(tBirthday) into tAge

the calculateAge function receives tBirthday as (11 divided ...

literal short date

I have a problem where the short date is being treated as a division problem in a function:

function calculateAge tBirthday
....
end calculateAge

Here, contents of tBirthday: 11/18/47 is converted to 0.0028 automatically, and thus not available as a short date....

How can I prevent the date in ...

Quartum PDF line wrapping problem

When I use the Quartum PDF command to print a field of text, the "•" from MacOs is converted to a strange "Y" like character and there is no line wrapping so the sentence runs off the page to the right. Any suggestions for a solution to these problems?

Thanks,

Re: file information

Dear Jaque,

Thanks for your reply.

CAn you tell me what all the numbers of the result mean. I understand that the 2nd item is file size,a dn it looks like 4th and 5th are the dates in seconds. What about the rest?

Unfortunate that this is not documented somewhere...

Thanks again,

the ampersand

I am writing a script that creates HTTP://... addresses and I need to write an ampersand ("&") but when I do this the script evaluates & as an operator. How can I insert an ampersand as a regular character into an argument?

revBrowser JavaScript

I am attempting to display the contents of a website with revBrowser.
I get a "JavaScript not enabled" message and quite a primitive HTML display instead of the nice website graphics I was hoping for.

Is there a way to enable JavaScript?

BTW the revBrowser tutorial recommended by the User Manual ...

I am a bewildered novice again:

I would like to be able to add new columns to an existing table, or populate particular [row,column] places in a table, and am trying to learn the most efficient way to do this.

I think the first thing you should do, is fix your keyboard (Especially the caps-lock key).

Some cyphers expect data to be a certain length, and use padding on the input data to get to that length. If you just feed such a cypher "dummy" data, you need to make sure it's the expected length for that ...
