The trueWord chunk type was added early in the v7 series to take 
advantage of the Unicode lib's parsing rules that account for quotes and 
punctuation.


e.g.:

  put trueWord 3 of tQuote

set the itemdelimiter to space and use that instead.

Constrain word delimiter to space only

2016-09-17 Thread Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami 
if you do this

put "He said, " & quote & "LiveCode has a very supportive community." & quote 
into tQuote
put word 3 of the quote


you get ""LiveCode has a very supportive community."

is there a way to contrain the word delimiter to not include the straight quote 
as a delimiter?

from an editor's point of view, this has 8 words not 3

He said, "LiveCode has a very supportive community."
