a utility to collect all scripts

Post by sp27 » Sun May 22, 2011 3:55 am

Is someone willing to share a utility script for collecting all scripts in a stack and saving them to a text file? Or is there something already built into the IDE that will do that?

Thanks,

Look under the User Samples pull down menu on the main LiveCode menu bar and select "Developer Tool" from the list on the left hand side of the page. From there you can scroll down to something called "Script Reporter" that soundsa like what you are looking for. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good.

Good luck - Gene Lambert

I'm curious: what do you want to do with the text file once it's generated?

Many thanks! An excellent tool. Just what I wanted. Not only does it collect all scripts in one window for backup and documentation, but I'm sure I'll be using it even as I work, because finding and viewing scripts is so much easier in Script Reporter than via Application Browser.

I hope that answers the other question: backup, documentation, and quick access to solutions that have already been tested.
