Sorry: Neanderthal question time:
I cannot see anything about charsToSkip in the inbuilt (i.e. in the IDE)
documentation (6.6. dp1).
Went round in circles on the website.
---------------------
Anyway:
I set up a boring little stack with a fld "fORIGIN" conatinong "The
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
and that was jolly nice,
then I set up another fld called "fREZ"
and a button with this script:
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "fREZ"
put fld "fORIGIN" into ORIGIN
put offset("o",ORIGIN) & ", " after fld "fREZ"
put offset("o",ORIGIN) & ", " after fld "fREZ"
put offset("o",ORIGIN) & ", " after fld "fREZ"
end mouseUp
in the hope I would get something like "13, 18, 27," in fld "fREZ"
but all I got was "13, 13, 13"
so I really cannot see what the utility of 'offset' is at all.
---------------------------------
I made another button with this script:
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "fREZ"
put 1 into INDEKS
repeat until char INDEKS of fld "fORIGIN" is empty
if char INDEKS of fld "fORIGIN" is "o" then
put INDEKS & ", " after fld "fREZ"
elseon mouseUp
put empty into fld "fREZ"
put 1 into INDEKS
repeat until char INDEKS of fld "fORIGIN" is empty
if char INDEKS of fld "fORIGIN" is "o" then
put INDEKS & ", " after fld "fREZ"
else
--do nix
end if
put (INDEKS + 1) into INDEKS
end repeat
end mouseUp
--do nix
end if
put (INDEKS + 1) into INDEKS
end repeat
end mouseUp
and that returned "13, 18, 27, 42"
a whole lot more useful.
