LiveCode Forums.

Are you saying your applications folder is hidden? or.. Is is possible that your LiveCode application has been renamed to ".LiveCode" ? that is with a period in front of the name. You would need to use a terminal command to show hidden files or a utility like Onyx. Thats the only thing I can think o...

There is also 'put URL "binfie:/path/to/file/rawdata"' (or file:/path/to/file/rawdata, I believe 'file:' uses os specific line endings, binfile: does the write unchanged) For what you're doing ( open, write, close rather than open write write write write write, close) all at once, the URL method wo...

Thanks Richard, changing the first line to did the trick. Your reply regarding using the "open file" form implies there is another way ( isn't there always ) to achieve the same...I'm curious..

I have a stack which puts serial data into a text field and then formats the data for import into a Filemaker database, the stack works well except if I save the raw data from the text field the resulting text file has a extra linefeed added between each line.

I am trying to build a stack which uses serial data from a Current Cost Meter which gives you Power consumption and temperature data. The device spits out data every 6 secs. I have succeeded in parsing out the the relevant data to display in my stack. My next challenge is to be able to store this da...

Answering my own questions with another one. I have now got to the stage where I am capturing the correct data but... I cannot close the serial port with a button because the user interface is not responding unless I pull the serial device from the port ( actually its a keyspan serial USB adaptor). ...

I have "discovered" livecode from a need to update an old but essential Hypercard application. The hypercard script was written to parse some data captured from a (PAT tester). At the moment the capture is being done separately with Zterm, the resultant textfile then processed by the hypercard stack...
