"u" versus "u"-with-a-hat character

Hi Everyone,

I need to be able to import/export from/to older versions, which use Char(252) and Char(251) for field and
record delimiters. I'm calling

USE CHARACTER SET("ISO-8859-1";1)
RECEIVE PACKET(InDoc;$packet;$packetSize)
$len:=Position($endOfRec;$packet)

But when I test for $len, it's finding a "u" without a hat at position 181, instead of a "u" with a hat (Char 252)
at position 88. In the debugger, it thinks that the two are equal to each other

(Substring($packet;88;1)=Substring($packet;181;1)) -> returns true

..and yet it does not see the earlier instance (at position 88). I've also tried "macintosh" and "MacRoman"
in the use character set command. If I append the asterisk onto the Position command, it finds nothing.

What's the work-around?

Thank you,
Don

try using the * parameter for Position

V13 Web server Launch

I am finding that I have to manually Start the 4D web server even though it
is ticked "Launch on Start" in preferences. I did not see this problem in
V12...

Re: V13 Web server Launch

Hello,

there seems to a bug where the preference setting and START WEB SERVER the command can't coexist;
already brought to our notice...

I'd compare on Character Code level instead of "=", so in this case:
Chararcter Code ($packet≤88≥) = Chararcter Code ($packet≤181≥)
which would be probably also faster than the Substring version 
Of course you need to test the string length before else you'll be surprised ....

Re: Off Topic: Facetime from Cannes, France

David,

We use an iPhone with tethering activated to connect up to 5 devices. It works ok, but not brilliant.
Performance is good. We have used this in remote regions (mountains of eastern Idaho) where no other way to
connect to the internet are available on a casual basis. I know this is not exactly your situation, but an
iPhone (or any other phone that supports tethering) is an excellent solution without the need of a
separate box.

ListBox Row Font Color based on array element value

In June of 2007 I sent a message asking if there is a way to procedurally change the background and/or font
color of a specific "Row" in a ListBox displaying 4 array columns.

The solution was quick and direct.  But it fails to work in V12.

I've tried to follow more recent posts from Chip, Arnaud, David and Jeremy but my attempts have failed.

It seems simple.  I would like a Timer Form Event to set the colors for each row based on a value in the first
element of the row.  There's no problem with the Timer, just the colors.

eg:   Row       Value    Make Row/Font Color
       Row 1   "Urgent"         = Red
       Row 2   "Urgent "        = Red
       Row 3   "Important"    = Orange
       Row 4   "Done"           = Blue
       Row 5   "Routine       = Green
       Row 6   "Done"           = Blue

I am embarrassed to think how many attempts I've tried over the past 8 hours.  I've tried a method name in the
Color properties field, RBG colors and regular colors, put things on the ListBox object Method event on
load and on clicked and on display detail.  I just can't get it together.

Thanks for any help you extend.

Re: ListBox Row Font Color based on array element value

Have you tried the "On Outside Call" event and run the colour changing
calling method in a separate process?
