My project has Russian text fields (Arial,Russian). With one exception, everything works fine.
Problem: a filter-as-you-type script. field "t1": зо field "t2": меня зовут Виктор --underscoring shows the matches-- field "t3": зовут курить почему I want to do is find a word in fields t2 and t3 that begins with the 2 letters in field t1. Word 2 in field t2 and word 1 in field t3 should be matches. But this only works if the matching word is the first word in the field! Some simple message box scripts: put fld "t1" & cr & fld "t2" & cr & fld "t3" The result is a bunch of numbers, symbols and squares. You can clearly spot the matches. Next in the message box: --char 1 to 4 -- double byte chars-- put char 1 to 4 in fld "t1" into aText put char 1 to 4 in word 2 in fld "t2" into bText put char 1 to 4 in word 1 in fld "t3" into cText put aText & cr & bText & cr & cText This should be 3 identical lines, right? But no. Line 2 is missing the final char. 7(square)>(square) 7(square)> 7(square)>(square) Next: comparing the strings if cText = aText then beep - it beeps if cText is in aText then beep - it beeps if bText = aText then beep - no beep, obviously BUT if bText is in aText then beep - also no beep! And then put char 1 to 5 in word 2 in field "t2", it returns the same as the other two: 7(square)>(square) so then put char 1 to 5 in word 2 into bText but if bText = (or is in) aText still returns nothing Why is that last double byte char always missing when the word is not word 1 in its field? If I do char 1 to 3 I get this (again!) 7(square)> 7(square) --last char missing! 7(square)> Using itemDEL = space and char 1 to x in item z behaves the same. Anyone know the answer?
