You could pre-process the text to apply the group style, creating an
associative array along the way to make it easy to extract the
appropriate values. Assuming that the "/" comes after the space between
sentences, this button handler would do the pre-processing, assuming that
the text you want to process is in field "one" and the target (clickable)
field is "two":
on mouseUp
global soundList
put fld "one" into fld "two"
put 1 into startChar
put 1 into theSound
repeat
put offset("/",fld "two") into theSlash
if theSlash is 0 then exit repeat
set the textStyle of char startChar to theSlash-2 of fld "two" to
"Group"
put char startChar to theSlash-2 of fld "two" into theKey
put theSound & ".au" into soundList[theKey]
add 1 to theSound
delete char theSlash of fld "two"
put theSlash into startChar
end repeat
end mouseUp
This results in a global array, soundList. This script in field "two"
will result in the appropriate sentence number ("1.au" "2.au" etc.) being
placed in the message box:
on mouseUp
global soundList
put soundList[the clickText]
end mouseUp
Obviously, you might not want to use the _whole_ sentence as the key, and
this doesn't account for identical sentences, but that's doable.
