SKTS said. . . .netetiquettely tersely:
"couldn't get FIND to work on a multi line string" . . .and
Andu said, with even more awesome brevity:
> couldn't resist:
> on mouseUp
> local t1,t2
> set the itemdel to "�"
> repeat for each item x in fld "tTextField"
> if the number of lines of x = 4 then
> put x -- OK we know we got one. . .it shows in the message box
> if matchChunk (fld "tTextField", "(." & x & "*)",t1, t2) then put t1 &&
> t2
> #which gives you the first and last char of x
> exit repeat
> end if
> end repeat
> end mouseUp
Ahhh! a jewel gift from the wizard. . . And add this line:
select char t1 to t2 of fld "tTextField"
at the end . . .and viola, the equivalent of a "find" for a multi-line
string.
But, Great Scott! (Raney), Andu said:
"I think you can't find more then 1 line"
Is it true?
(Thanks again Andu)
