delete specified text?
So; I have an urge to delete some text from lines of a list field, like
this:
put 1 into QOUNT
repeat until line QOUNT of fld PROCD is empty
delete word 2 of line QOUNT of fld PROCD
add 1 to QOUNT
end repeat
which is all fine and dandy.
The ONLY problem is that the word ('Plovdiv') that I want to remove from
the lines of the list field is NOT always the second word . . .
Ever a trier, I tried this:
put 1 into QOUNT
repeat until line QOUNT of fld PROCD is empty
delete Plovdiv from line QOUNT of fld PROCD
add 1 to QOUNT
end repeat
No joy . . .
Now, I suppose I could have a routine that trots down the line checking
if each word is 'Plovdiv',
and if so, deleting it.
Seems a bit wasteful and slow . . .
-
I t would be rather jolly if
delete Specific word from line X of fld Y
could be implemented.

Hi Richmond,
You can do this:
replace plovdiv with empty in line 2 of fld PROCD
Unfortunately, you'll end up with double space. You may need to add a
space to plovdiv in the replace string or replace all double spaces at
once:
replace space space with space in fld PROCD
If you really only need to replace Plovdiv, use this:
replace Plovdiv with empty in fld PROCD
repeat until space space is not in fld PROCD
replace space space with space in fld PROCD
end repeat

Richmond, It won't delete the complete line, but just the specified text. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 7/23/2014 11:46, Richmond wrote: On 07/23/2014 10:51 AM, John Craig wrote: Try; replace Specific word with empty in line X of fld Y I don't want to delete the complete line! ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
