Datebook /ToDo databases

[Ricardo-58]

Hello,

I'd like to write an application for a Palm TX that reads the Datebook (Calendar?) or ToDo database, selects the records from a particular category (for instance, all records from the category Deadlines), and prints them on the screen, together with the number of days up to every particular event (i.e. 36 days left to writing the paper, 72 days left to studying for the maths exam, etc.). Do you think this would be easy to do in Plua (I've never done any Palm OS programming).

I've seen that there are some database I/O functions, but I'm not sure how they can be used to read (and write) Datebook and Todo records on the native PIM databases. Is there a source code example with an example of this (reading/writing from/to native databases).

Thanks!

Hi, I think that no have especial functions to this...

I too, never done any programm, but is a good language to learn.

Eu já escrevi um programa que abre
um memo qualquer, vc edita e salva
e tinha a possibilidade de salvar
como um arquivo .txt no cartao
para ficar mais facil de usar no micro

Se voce tiver interesse, vou procurá-lo
e posso posta-lo ?
me avise

Yes, if you can... please share your code.

Thanks

Hello Ricardo

Perhaps this could be a start?
It is a quick and dirty Plua 2.0 program that tries to list the contents
of various Palm databases.
But I don't know the structure of the databases so it is trial and
error!

The program tries to read 12 "fields" of each record in the database and
list it as 12 lines on the screen. Using the KeyDown lists the next
records 12 lines.

There is no way of stopping except going through the whole database!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
--List database.lua
screen.clear()
gui.destroy()

db="ToDoDB"
--db="DatebookDB"
--db="ExpenseDB"
--db="AddressDB"
--db="MemoDB"

 
f,n = io.open("db:/"..db,"r")
for i = 0,n-1,1 do
screen.clear()
f:openrec( i)    
s = f:read( "*a")  
if s~=nil then
d = bin.unpack('BSBBBBBBBBBSB', s)
for j = 1,12,1 do  io.write("#",j,": ",d[j]," \n ") end

while gui.event()~=keyDown do end
end
end  
f:close()
