Converting from SuperCard
Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:55 pm
Hi,
I am testing LiveCode 5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.4 and am experimenting some problems with a simple project.
Scripts have been pasted from SC 4.63 into the buttons of the LiveCode stack and modified to match LiveCode syntax. Obviously, the translation is not perfect…
One card, with 2 fields containing accounting data, 2 buttons (Import and Convert). The purpose is to convert a file to match the requirements of my accountant.
The first field (ListeFournisseurs) contains the list of the providers names and codes:
08000001,SNCF
08000002,Restaurant
08000003,Autres fournisseurs
08000004,Decitre
08000005,Leclerc
08000006,Orange
etc.
The second field (ListeOperations) is populated by data using the first button, Import, which works fine. I cannot post a sample of this data here, as it is confidential.
Here is the script of the Convert button, which is supposed to replace some char strings by the provider name when its code is detected at the beginning of a line (in this line and the following lines) :
Now the problem: running the script normally does not work. Some replacements in the data are simply missed.
If I put a breakpoint at the line "if char 2 to 3 of line i of tListe = "08" then" and if I use the Continue button of the script editor each time there is a break, the script performs correctly. So, I am not able to debug it, as it always performs correctly in debug mode.
Any ideas?
TIA
