Does anybody know of any easy to learn opensource scripting language? I need to be able to send string to the scripting engine from Delphi, have it process the strings and return the result to Delphi. I also need to be able to load such scripts at runtime and execute them. Each of such script need to do different thing, based on some parameter, so I might need to load many different scripts at the same time.

Back to searching... LUA is not what I can use, it seems not to support UTF-8 for files.

But it was a good find 🙂 It works well so far. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will go with lua as recommended by Lars Fosdal (thanks for that). I got most things running already and even it has no regex, gmatch and some other will do it.

Maybe I could use gmatch instead of regex, that might be ok. I am currently playing with lua, but could not yet figure out how to return a string to delphi.

Not sue lua is ok for my project. I saw it does not know anything about regex.

Python is too huge for just the small things I want to do, and I dont want to dig into python programming. I took a look at TJvInterpreterProgram, but its hard due to lack of documentation. It works, but I could not figure out how to use system functions like copy, delete etc. from within the code for the interpreter.

DWScript seems to be up to Delphi 11.x only, but I use Delphi 12.

When I try to open getit in the tools menu, the IDE freeze and I need to use taskmanager to kill the process. When trying to go to my.embarcadero.com, I get a 504 error.

I am trying to find, without success, information about how to catch when somebody click in a TEdgeBrowser into a form field, or on a table, or any other element. I can catch hyperlick clicks, but thats all so far. Is that even possible? What I need to do is, when a user click somewhere, to show the source code of that element.

Wow, cool, thanks a lot! I will play with it. So the window.addEventListener is the key to do what I want.

It might be in a memo, so I need just the text to process it further.

What I want is that the user load a website, and can click on any element/text/whatever on that page, and that the outerhtml will be displayed, no more, no less. Using the "inspect" is way to confusing for the user.

I am looking for a edit/memo component which allows multiselect. For example, I have a text "This is just a test" in the edit/memo and would like to select "This" and "test". I tried to find such component, but without luck. Does it exist or is it just wishful thinking?

I believe I solved it using the TPlusMemo.

Just to show what I mean:

Thats a pity. I thought there is such control. Notepad++ can do that.

I am looking for a (free) profiler for Delphi 12. I am interested to know how long the execution of various procedures and functions will take. Because there are hundreds of such procedures/functions, I cannot just insert dome gettickcount code, that would take forever.

Thanks, I tried that already, but was not able to have it measure the execution time of my procedures.

Delphi 12: Does anybody know how the customglyphimages is supposed to work with TRzCheckBox of the Raize Components? I set the imagelist, which hold various 16x16 images. In the designer, they are also visible instead of the default checkmarks, but when I run the program, it only shows the normal checkboxes instead.

The issue I see is that when the image sin the imagelist are set to 16x16, they will not appear in the checkbox. Any size different that that will show the images. Of course, everything more than 16x16 will cur them and you see only a part of them... so it must be a bug that just the needed 16x16 images are not displayed.

I cant access getit, my.embacadero.com or quality. Are they again down or just for me?

Now I cant even install bookmarks via getit, I get "Invalid serial number". Whats up with embacadero?

I need to convert some webp images to jpg or any other format (target format does not matter). How can I load a .webp image into a timage without using any external dll/dylib like Skia4Delphi? I just cant find anything realted to .webp and fmx.

When I close a form on macOS by clicking the top/left red close button of the form, the onClose event of the form is not trigggered. This was already with Delphi 10.4.x the same. I need to save things and cleanup things when the form close, but how without the onClose event getting triggered?
