Hello All,
OK, been doing the Lingo thing professionally for over 6 years now and
I'm stumped...
(and thanks to John Sweeney for verifying that I'm NOT crazy and
suggesting I share this one...)
Same thing-- 2 different ways of doing it.
First method trys to manipulate string in a variable, second manipulates
the contents of a text field.
Any idea why this is???!!! (Please see below...)
-AD
Last line of first method produces error...
------- METHOD 1, PRODUCES ERROR ------------
txt = "Andy*is*cool"
the itemDelimiter = "*"
put txt.item[1]
-- "Andy"
put txt.item[1].char[3]
-- "d"
txt.item[1].char[3] = "B" -- this produces the error, "Wrong Type"
------- METHOD 2, NO ERROR ------------
put txt into field "DisplayText"
put field "DisplayText"
-- "Andy*is*cool"
put member("DisplayText").item[1].char[3]
-- "d"
member("DisplayText").item[1].char[3] = "B"
put field "DisplayText"
-- "AnBy*is*cool"
