Hi.
Do you get a compile error or does the script just not work? The code snippet is not enough for me to figure out what might not be compiling if that is the issue. You might have a missing line break character (\) after the "if" line. You can condense your code quite a bit, but don't worry about that until you have it functioning.

For a variation of this excercise I want NOT to delete the letter but turn the letter green or red and then check for the next char of the word. I use: if vArr = 98 and char 1 of fld "Word" is "b" then set the foregroundcolor of char 1 of fld "Word" to green if vArr = 98 and char 1 of fld "Word" is not "b" then set the foregroundcolor of char 1 of fld "Word" to red This is where I am stuck now. How do I make the script work so that depending on the color of the previous char the next char of the Word will be checked? if vArr = 112 and the foregroundcolor of char 1 of fld "Word" = green and char 2 of fld "Word" is "p" then set the foregroundcolor of char 2 of fld "voorbeeld" to green end if This doesn't work Any idea's are welcome! greetings, William _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
