it also produces them on 6.7.2. also, jane, the v.1.1 for V6 doesnt actually used fhutils, so it runs with script errors, if you remove the require, don't know you would have to abandon it for 6.

I got it manually fromV6 plugins at the plugin store.

V1.1 doesnt work quite right either.

require("fhUtils")

it is not useable in V6, as is, needs loadrequire.
still many script errors.

Jane,

check plugins gives me this: (cheek plugins is up to date)


"E. Not In Store" "1.0" " " "Behind The Name forenames" "Jane Taubman" " "

I do not believe I have changed a plugin name from the store but:

it is now Behind The Name (forenames) in the store. I got it now. Thanks

mike, is it your intent for this to work under _G._VERSION 'Lua 5.1' ? check for updates from the store let me update it. I am running other tests, so, I am running a lot more plugins I haven't used in quite a while. my sig is correct, W10 fh 6.7.2 (I will make it to 7 about 7.5 hopefully by then th...

how do I build a language pack? I looked, obviously not enough.... and looking at it in the hex editor gives me not much in the way of clues. Is there a tutorial or anything?

it has a great deal to to with the placement of require statements in code I do not write, since this bit of code is seminal to the actual problem of profiling code, and when I should enumerate _G, and what to do if the function is not found in _G, and determining if this is lua internal or fh inter...

the first part relatively painless, I have hit a surprising road block, and it is compounded by the fact that you cant really debug a program that does debug. I hope I have enough here that you can follow what is occuring and see my problem. _etbl entry: _etbl is an enumeration of _G (entry under di...

uff da. ok, thanks, we go the long route.

as you may or may not know, I make extensive use of requires. mine are """"""non-standard"""""" but any program of any usefulness will need some requires, lfs, iup, luacom, something. almost universally, I put them at the top lines of my plugin so the first thing a plugin does is "bind" the required...

will Tools>How Related work for you? it is pretty compact.

5.3 has a limit in program size as well, in 5.1 it looks to be about 1.24 gig what is it in 5.3? you cannot malloc in 5.3 so you are fixed memory there as well. I have spent months on that tipping point in 5.1, and while it may be upwards to double that its no better, I hear the same problems in gc ...

__g = collectgarbage('count') if __g >= 622380 then collectgarbage('collect') end I do my table writing and table saving gc like this. the idea is to keep it at around 3/4 to 5/8 of a gig total run space. best time I can get after weeks of test. I can strategically place this, so for general stuff, ...

yes, clearly it does, but is undefined behavior, and may not always work, and brings no light to people trying to understand code. It works by serendipity, and that is a very hard mathematical function to produce a proof for.

paul, in CheckDuplicate line 106 you compare eq nill, and that must be a typo. it cant work correctly. either == nil or function CheckDuplicate(table, ptr) local id = fhGetRecordId(ptr) if table[id] return true else table[id] = id return false end end or function CheckDuplicate(table, ptr) local id ...

nearly 3 million comparisons.

thats a little over 53000 comparisons per minute.

there is no doubt that fh has a huge problem with versioning as it is. It would certainly exacerbate the issue, until it became bad enough to resolve. fh is small potatoes in the pc world. Even the large potato folks have issues with bugs and versioning, and yet, here we are, us merry band of ruffia...

I would hazard a guess that if such a scheme would be adopted, that requires that would be approved at the store level would be reviewed in like fashion, the text file run thru programs to insure their were not any malware embedded, and that even given that extra circumstance of a 'require lib' for ...

as I have said, I am well aware of that massive shortcomining. Seems like if you have to run a plugin out of the folder plugins, and to kick it off it must have an fh_lua extension, that a subfolder named require or include would be a mechanism to run down the garden path to reusability. loadrequire...

I understand it is not acceptable from the store, but it could be. perhaps loadrequire.... in any case a system could be made to cover such common things in the language. if he calls a program from a program, it would not be available from the store, either, its same-same. And there are a lot of goo...

I do my common function modularly by use of require. require '_STD_HDR' require '_STD_SYS' require '_STD_GPS' require '_STD_PRT' require '_STD_TBL' and so on. If you need to have variables from the calling program in the called program, you could always set and get them in _G, as well. They die when...

the hidden field would be the full key, so for example: ADDR."St.Margarets...".sub ADDR."St.Margarets....".lng and so on, for each row. it wouldn't be an optional see or not see thing. Just a big shortcut in computing, so when you choose lng I do not have to backtrack to calculate the key. If you re...

This is a rudimentary mockup of a screen I am trying to create. mt.png opt, will be the only input/output field on the line, in this screen. I believe I have a plan to work out the indentation. I have looked at iup.matrix and iup.tree. I do not believe iup.tree will work for this. here is the link f...

Mike, not sure how your new one does it. I did not remove the loc file, simply said yes, geocode all for addys-source, and geocode all for place-records. prior to running I had one address that was hand coded. it reports all coded for both. would it be different if I renamed the loc and started from...
