Always pleased to see a post by a first-time responder, oftentimes in a thread of real substance.

Unless it was a bot.

In the UK, it is a cosmetic store, though they also carry other stuff, like heartburn remedies. I assume Richmond is in that aisle.

Craig

Anyone know what Richmond is on about?

Craig

Where do bots get their names from?

Activity here is indeed muted. The use-list also is quiet. I guess nobody needs help anymore.

Craig

Or (and this may be overcomplicated unless your goal is to identify purely alphanumeric results):

...
get yourBase64decodeResults
repeat for each char tChar in it
if tChar is not in "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" then
answer "notAlpha:" && tChar
exit to top
end repeat
....


Craig

May I assume that, by virtue of the prose, this is (you are) a bot?

I know about those variables; they get in my way for the most part. But I wish they were in the dictionary so I could search for them and also be presented with similar types. There are only a handful of entries that begin with "$".

I do not understand why the dictionary does not hold ...

I have always wondered about the (large) portion of the dictionary that is not in the, er, dictionary. The "messageMessages" comes to mind.

But simply finding the "username" is not straightforward, at least I believe. ChatGPT turned me on to "$USER" which gives the login name for my machine. Anyone ...

"D'ye mean me?"

A jaloused "close" meant close, no hide.

What does your "Flash" stack do?

I believe the OP, if a real person (we have not yet heard back) asked about closing the other stack, not simply hiding it. Hiding does not impact a running handler at all. Closing definitely might.

It does not matter if that "other" stack is a subStack ...

Hi, if you are real.

Do you mean you closed the "other" stack, or the mainStack?

If the other stack, you need do nothing. The script will continue to run normally after that line. If you mean the mainStack, well that is different altogether.

Which?

Does this mean we should be eagerly engaging with AI bots so they will better train their LC capabilities?

So somebody, an actual human, must be somewhere behind these efforts, no? What I mean is that although AI wrote this, a person put it up to it. Who are those people? Don't tell me AI does this just for its own giggles.

Craig

Stam.

Right you are.

But assuming LC is running on his machine, and whatever the source of the appleScript, how would any such source pop itself into LC? Where would it land?
