Hi,
I am looking for a simple text list which contains all current Livecode commands.
Can someone provide a link?
Kind regards
Torsten

Hi Torsten,
you could start with:
Code: Select all
...
put "Commands" & CR & the commandnames & CR & CR & "Functions" & CR & the functionnames into fld "my list of LC commands and functions"
...
Remember, this is not C(++, minusminus, sharp, flat, subjective, objective, rejective or whatever)!
Best
Klaus

Random keywords for learning

Here is my intention: I wanted to have a random pick of the livecode commands and functions in order to learn more about unexplored areas. This line beams you to a random keyword in the english livecode wiki:
Code: Select all
launch url ("https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/" & line random(the number of lines in (the commandnames & cr & the functionnames)) of (the commandnames & cr & the functionnames) )

Good idea!
You can have it a bit shorter:
Code: Select all
...
launch url ("https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/" & any line of (the commandnames & cr & the functionnames))
...
However the WIKI entries are obvioulsy mixed upper and lower case and the comandnames etc. are all lowercase! :-/
So:
https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/listregistry -> Article Listregistry was not found
But:
https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/ListRegistry -> works
Unfortunate decision of the WIKI maker(s)...
Any is great!

Thanks for this tip, Klaus!
The problem with the names is that there is not one way of writing theses words: the Livecode dictionairy also says "listRegistry" the function says "listregistry".
I asked the wiki host, if there is a way of still accepting lowercase pagenames. I am waiting for reply, maybe it will work.
Otherwise you just have to click once more because the wiki offers the link to the intended page directly on the answer page.
