Unfortunately, there are not enough examples in the dictionary for an amateur like myself to understand it!

Nadia Eghbal gave and interesting LongNow talk last week on opensource software maintenance, explaining along the way Jacob Thornton's distinction between

free as in beer
free as in speech

It?s more than that. There is so much to RegEx, and the different iterations of it, that no dictionary could really cover it. If you want to familiarize yourself with Regex, you really need to visit a tutorial site. Heck, even when you google how to do something, you will likely get a discussion going as to why the first solution posted won?t work right for situation x or y, then someone will contradict that person and before you know it 5 or 6 of the people who actually KNOW Regex will jump into the fray. You may or may not get a really good answer.

Hi, I have noticed that PayPal has changed things rather dramatically since the
last time I used them for accepting payments for my website.

It used to be long ago that you could send your amount, and sales tax
information to PayPal with one button.  Now the easiest way I can
figure how to do this kind of thing involves my having to make
several PayPal buttons in advance, and then use my sales tax
table to determine which button to show to the user to get
PayPal to charge the correct amounts.

How are you integrating LiveCode Server with PayPal these days?
Do you have any good examples?  I find the PayPal website
to be a bit of a morass with all of their different ways of doing things.

Thanks in advance!

Rick

Hi friends,

FYI: I found a very strange and serious bug, if you have a minute, please take a look:
<https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22992>
A real showstopper in my opinion!

With an example stack (in my dropbox, my browser does not allow me to select 
a file as attachment!?). Shows the problem clearly on a Mac.
May probably work correctly on Windows, maybe not.

So, I have a large applications. Under 9.6.1 STABLE I open the main 
stack and build the standalone (Windows and macOS) without issue.

I just tried it under 9.6.2rc1 and I get an infinite loop of "duplicate 
stacks" errors and it keeps trying to reload the app over and over?!?!? 
I had to force quit (on Windows 10).

Any one else have any problems?

okay, this did not happen the next time I tried. The first time I have 
made a number of changes to two substacks in the mainstack (and saved) 
and then tried building the standalone and got the errors and loop.

The second time I made no changes. I just opened the mainstack (and let 
the app startup) and then build the standalones using 962rc1 and it worked.

I have to try making changes again and see if I can get the issue to 
repeat itself.

Now trying to repeat the build issue in LC962rc1, I made an edit to a 
button script. Applied the change, closed the substack window (getting 
prompted to save my changes), and the LC just exited.

Then trying a 3rd time, everything worked as expected.

Maybe it was a bad preferences file that fixed itself or .... gremlins!

Has anybody written a library for this?  Looking to write ID3 tags for mp3

Thoughts?

The late Mark Smith (the Bass Player) had written a library.

On Mac there is the Mac Status Menu library available in  LC9.6 and lower.

I just noticed, that the files are not available anymore.

I've uploaded a zip archive of those files here

I will attest to the fact that strange things happen with drag drop and not just with Livecode. For instance if I drag a PDF to a mounted share, often, but not every time, Mail becomes unresponsive and I have to quit it and relaunch it. Also when drag dropping files from the Finder onto a Livecode object I get the ?snap back? visual, and then the next drag drop operation will not work until I click the title bar of the LC window I am dragging to, or else move the window in some way.
