LiveCode Forums.

Hi Bernd, I'm not sure that's the what the OP is asking but may be wrong. Looks like they're using AppleScript independent of LiveCode but want to send an AppleScript event to LiveCode with a value to be processed there. This strikes me as the wrong way round and my understanding is about the same a...

I'm not even sure where to begin with this. The point blank refusal of wanting to understand or use regex is jaw-dropping... I gave your links (well, 1st link) a glance. It seems OXT has gone as far as removing regex from the regex method, the actual reason for the existence of these functions. I do...

Try matchChunk like this: put matchChunk("flop", "FLOP") and LC will return 'true'. Why are you using a regex method for string literal searching? matchText() and matchChunk() exist purely to bring regex, a pattern matching tool, to xTalk. If you want to search for string literals, use offset, find...

Good effort

Another tip: use Codex or Claude Code (can analyse files directly on your system if you give it permissions) and it will diagnose your error for you...

The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive, regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. ( That is what Richmond was on about. Do I still misunderstand? Edited my response as there was an issue with my regex testing stack that meant the flags (?msiU) were always added - ...

You're not wrong. I had built a web app and subsequently an API based on livecode server for use with companion apps originally intentioned for building in LiveCode. (The API was for CRUD operations for the same MariaDB/MySQL DB). The API worked fine, but building the mobile apps in LiveCode was lon...

Guys....... matchText uses regex as search criterion, and you've always been able to set case sensitivity in the regex expression. MatchText() purpose in life is to bring regex to LiveCode (and OXT I presume). If the OXT version of matchText has changed this so it doesn't use regex that's fine, alth...

I’ll be honest, the end of xxx as we know it applies to most small platforms. AI will put all these platforms out of professional work. Why faff with some intermediary for a cross platform code base, when a simple set of commands to Claude Code will write the app for you in no time. In less than a w...

I am curious if anyone has tried handling real-time updates within LiveCode stacks? updates for what? the app? Yes - you could look at theSparkle framework for updates. Or roll your own, you can access stacks online and download them. I'm more curious about the choice to use sqlite - something like...

Thanks Pano,
Will 10.0.4 be accessible via LCC as 'Classic'?
Not many have standalone LC10 licenses nowadays!

While a bug seems possible, I'd have thought it would have been reported by now, and I can see no entries in the bug database about 'modification date'. So while not impossible it seems very unlikely this is a bug (keeping in mind 'the files' was introduced in version 1), it's possible your code is ...

your notes on notarising worked fine when I actually noticed them and put them into use ;) I think a lot of the issues I had were from malformed paths for Python and not having up-to-date Homebrew installed. The IDE seems to work very well on macOS Tahoe! Kudos! I'll re-test building it to confirm t...

https://github.com/emily-elizabeth/HyperXTalk You can download and follow the build instructions, but this only makes a build for ARM Macs. It still has all the Livecode branding, so need to get working on that. I thought I'd check this out. I'm on MacOS 26.2, and have Xode 26.3 installed. At some ...

Aha: when will you release it into the wild? https://github.com/emily-elizabeth/HyperXTalk You can download and follow the build instructions, but this only makes a build for ARM Macs. It still has all the Livecode branding, so need to get working on that. Anyone here good at graphic design and mak...
