Is there a way to filter the view for the variable watch tab?

I am not using the path information at present so I would like to remove all $PATH type ($) variables from the watch window.

Thanks!

Yes. I do this.

This was a thread several months ago. I will find it tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

It is SO much nicer, and so much less cluttered in normal use to lose those.

Check out Thierry's post in the Nov. 2010 archives. Works for me. I hated all those system globals. I had to scroll down all the time to see my own.

Try out this simple script :

on mouseUp
local G
put the globals into G
replace comma with return in G
filter G without "$*"
put G
end mouseUp


Then go for the revdebugger.rev stack and open the stack script.

Look for the function below around line 223 :

# Returns
# A list of the globals with valid names. I.e not the ones with (x86) in them on Vista 64bit.
function revDebuggerValidGlobalNames

And there operate on the globals as shown above

And last, probably better to make a copy of your LiveCode App before starting

Also, for a better debugging experience, check out PowerDebug.<g> On revOnLine or view the demo revlet at http://www.ahsoftware.net/PowerTools/Po ... DDemo.html

I tried opening the revdebugger.rev stack in LiveCode. I see the application window but I'm unable to see the script for that stack. The application browser is blank with no contents. I am missing something?

I found the original post by googling 'revDebuggerValidGlobalNames revdebugger.rev', it does not contain any further detail.

In the menubar's View menu, select LiveCode UI Elements in Lists. The revDebugger stack will then show up in the Application Browser.
