LiveCode Forums.

The only connection to other apps like Telegram would be with REST APIs.

For telegram: https://core.telegram.org

Not sure if any of those APIs would help advance your cause, but if yes then you can use LC for it.

https://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/livecode/tips/file007.htm Unnecessarily complex. This is the handler I use to get the file paths of all files in a folder (can be a volume), that drills down recursively through all nested folders and can include a search pattern (eg extension/filetype): function...

Someone in a different universe stated that: hope this won't be a problem when you use: CTRL ALT SHIFT S in Windows. Well, okay it will, as that's "Save as..." This makes NO sense to me at all, as, as far as I understand "Save as . ." on Windows normally uses CTRL SHIFT, or F12. On MacOS, user inte...

So, Craig, it would be a great service if you could tell me those 6 2-key combinations. Weird how many here complain when newbies ask to be spoonfed code, but a simple question as to how you derive 6 pairs from 3 elements is an actual question. The three elements: shift key alt (win) / option (Mac)...

I could be: what do you suggest?

cmd-opt-shift + key is not an uncommon construct in MacOS

I'm trying to use a pure livecode script (file.livecodescript) to access to a MySQL database, but it doesn't work outside the Livecode IDE. I launch the the script this way: /opt/livecode/livecode.x86_64 -ui /home/max/file.livecodescript and I get error the line with revOpenDatabase function. Proba...

You can test this with: <snip> you don't need code to see if the global is empty or holding unexpected value - global show directly in the script editor, you just need to tick the “show globals” tickbox. If the global is a string (and not, say, an array) the code posted will work - but simpler stil...

Agreed - the code should work.
You may want to tick 'show globals' in the script editor to see what value your global is holding.

So I suspect their are folks that will say this is a bad practice, but I have been using a "$" global variable for years and it works great and I do not have to do anything special. It is available anywhere in my app I am working on. I call my global "$X". <snip> put $X["InventoryValue"] into field...

@Stam. Rereading, I suspect the OP has his user type data into a field or enter it from a dialog, and simply wants to transfer that data to another card. And? Is it not simpler to have variable in the stack script with a set and get function? An example: to get the user name when the user types int...

Hello forum members, I am new to LiveCode and am currently having a bit of difficulty. I would like to ask about how to manage and transfer data between multiple cards in a stack. Specifically, I need to store user input in one card and display it in another card in the same stack. So in LiveCode, ...

I'm thinking of writing a small project management app that would be used by internal staff at my company. My intention would be to keep it online and develop it in Create. 2 questions: 1. If I develop in Create, is there a separate server fee? 2. If the company uses a shared login amongst a few us...

OR it could mean that an incorrect file name/path was passed. Or that the Win version of LC is now more finicky. Since we both know extensions aren’t the issue, it’s worth a try. The last thing I would do is assign this to a change in Windows - while that’s not impossible, user error is the commones...

Perhaps you need to provide a full file path rather than a relative one? The extension does not matter…

RIP - such an impact on the world.
