This could likely be optimized, but off the top of my head it seems this
might work, yes?:
function ClickLineChunk
put word 2 of the clickChunk into tStart
put word 4 of the clickChunk into tEnd
put value(the clickfield) into tData
put word 2 of the clickLine into tLine
put len(line 1 to (tLine-1) of tData)+1 into tOffset
subtract tOffset from tStart
subtract tOffset from tEnd
return "char "&tStart&" to "&tEnd&" of line "&tLine&" of " \
&the clickfield
end ClickLineChunk
> On the same line: I often miss a clickWord (??), which should return:
> "word 5 of field y".
How about something like:
function ClickWord
put word 4 of the clickChunk into tEnd
put value(the clickField) into tData
return "word "& the number of words of (char 1 to tEnd of tData) \
&" of "&the clickfield
end ClickWord
