Hi, Jellicle. Here's a technique that runs over twenty times as fast as the nested-repeat technique (as coded by SWEdeAndy): function filterWordsWithChars pWords, pChars repeat for each char tChar in pChars filter pWords with "*" & tChar & "*" end repeat return pWords end filterWordsWithChars This ...

The community installers are still up here:

And once those are gone, you can find them on archive.org by searching "livecode,inc"

Wow, thanks!

Here's a slightly modified version of my first function, which should work in any version of LC:

Yes, that's roughly the method I came up with myself, but on a list with 20,000 or more lines...slow...

I can't find an installable version of 9.5 or higher

No, not a Wordle solver!

Thanks! I'm getting an error - I'm on the community version of LiveCode (9.0.2) so the form of the filter command you are using may not be available for me. The error is in this line: filter lines of tData where checkLine(each) into tDest The error messages says the compiler was expecting "with"...

I have a list of words, one to a line. I want to filter that list to include only those that contain every letter in a string. So if my string = "aefg" I want to find only those words in my list that contain those characters (in any order). How do I that? Is the filter command my best option? Thanks...

A variation on the previous method

Your script worked perfectly! This forum saved my bacon years ago, and again today

Thanks Andy, Klaus!

Hi again I tried again with a known, valid .pdf. The following returns "can't open file": put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/" into tTargetFolder put "http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf" into tSourceFolder put url(tSourceFolder) into url("binfile:" & tTargetfolder) answer the result ...

Ok, seems the server is funky in the way it's handling the pdfs. When you go to https://websever.com/1 or https://websever.com/1.pdf in a browser, a pdf loads. But when I run your code, it creates an empty pdf. The error I get when I try to open it in Preview is "The file “2.pdf” could not be opened...

HI Gerry,

welcome back!

Thanks, but it's not for long

And thanks for your help. It's amazing what you forget in such a short time

I used to be a LiveCode developer but I've been away from the platform for a few years. I have 524 pdf files on a web server, at http://webserver.com/1 to http://webserver.com/524. I want a script that will download them all to a folder on my desktop (one at a time is fine, and it doesn't have to be...

Great, thanks.

Neil, can you give us an update on this?

iOS 7 and iOS 8 both have support from some non-retina devices (ipad min and ipad2), so restricting iOS version will not give full control over whether the device is retina or not. I should have been clearer: retina small screen devices. My app can't run on iPhone 3, 3GS or older iPod touch. People...

Neil What if I need to restrict my app to retina devices? 6.1 compatible apps can run on non-retina devices. It's late February. Apple required 64-bit binaries from 1 February. How much longer will we have to wait? I'm lucky that with my current project I'm not losing money, just my reputation. Gerry

That mentions nothing about 6.7.2 rc 2. Many of us are not on the 7.x series yet.
