Is there a way to know line separator for the current os?
by Panu Suominen March 29, 2011

March 29, 2011

I did not find a way to get line separator in the system independent manner. Linux uses character 10 (lf), windowses (two characters: 10, 13), and mac uses 13(not sure?). Is there already a way to do this? If not I can open a issue and propose a fix. -- Panu

and: help
by Jeff Gray March 29, 2011

March 29, 2011

I have a line of code that goes: ([self directoryName = ''] and: [self fileSpec = '']) ifTrue: [..... and it throws an error "NonBooleanReceiver: proceed for truth". The directoryName and fileSpec methods both ititialise to '' (empty string) if nil. I couldn't see what the issue was so I played in a workspace and evaluated: [true] and: [true] which gave me the same error. I'm in Pharo 1.1.1 Is my boolean structure wrong or is this a bug? Is there a better way for me to write the code? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/and-help-tp3413554p3413554.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

controlling width in UITheme class >> exampleBasicControls
by DougEdmunds March 24, 2011

March 24, 2011

UITheme class >> exampleBasicControls generates 3 columns. I want to control the width of the text entry input area ("Hello") in the left most column In the example, the width depends on the width of the widest text label in that column. If there are no labels, the text input box shrinks to a useless width (about 3-4 typed characters). How can I set the width of the text input field? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/controlling-width-in-UITheme-class-exampleBasicContro… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Get "Invalid utf8 input detected" error for a filename
by Juraj Kubelka March 24, 2011

March 24, 2011

Hi, If I try to execute: (FileDirectory on: '/home/jura') directoryNames it says "Invalid utf8 input detected" (UTF8TextConverter>>errorMalformedInput), because of a directory named 'VeÅejnÃ©' ('Å' character is the wrong one). In the file system it is the right. FileDirectory>>primLookupEntryIn:index: returns a wrong ByteString ('Ve?ejnÃ©'). It was tested on Pharo 1.1.1 and Moose 4.3 where I am not able to use a Moose Panel tool because of the problem. Am I able to solve this problem somehow? Set-up something... Thank you in advance, Juraj
