LC coders, please tell me why this won’t work! My guess is that this is a regex issue, not LC, but I am so stuck.
I want to replace all text within in parentheses (including the parentheses) with a single space. I have tried assembling the matchExpression in advance and in line, and also escaping the parentheses just in case they are reserved in regex. Or do I need to enclose the matchExpression in something other than or in addition to, quotes? on mouseup put field "import" into timport replacetext (timport, "(.*)", " ") put timport into field "import" end mouseup I get the less than inspiring: execution error at line 3 (Handler: can't find handler) near "replacetext", char 1 Best Wishes, David Glasgow _______________________________________________ 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
