Now, of course, the real fun starts when one wants to play around with
wild-cards so that one can, say,
swap Z and X around in a unicodeText field that contains stuff like this:
ZaXddZfXabcdeZoX
as I am unclear how to do that with a non-unicodeText field, the next
step seems a bit problematic,
and, quite frankly, churning through 'ZaX',ZbX', 'ZcX', etc. (and I'm
working with an abugida that features
about 4000 glyphs . . . joy) seems tedious in the extreme.
I thought about churning through a list of unicode addresses like this;
on mouseUp
put 2200 into CLICKER
repeat until CLICKER = 50000
set the useUnicode to true
if the unicodeText of fld "FIRST" contains (numToChar(57888) &
numToChar(CLICKER) & numToChar(57999)) then
get the unicodeText of fld "FIRST"
replace (numToChar(57888) & numToChar(CLICKER) &
numToChar(57999))) with
(numToChar(105) & numToChar(CLICKER) & numToChar(105)) in it
set the unicodeText of fld "FIRST" to it
end if
add 1 to CLICKER
end mouseUp
and, theoretically, it works.
the only thing that slightly fusses me about that is what happens if a
unicode address is empty and/or I land
up against a control character?
