Here is a bit of a hack, if you want:
put numToChar(7) into marker
put marker into char 1 of word 4 of myText
put offset(marker, myText) into tNum
In other words, you replace the chunk with a special character, and
then find the position of that marker. Of course, you would need to
work on a copy of your string.
I need the syntax to get the exact number of chars up until the
first char of another chunk expression (word thscount of thsstring).

Ok, my fault, i'll tey to be more specific. Every char in a
string can be
rrferenced by its count in the string. Char 5 of "my love" is
"o". So if i
want the char count of char 1 of word 2 of that same string i
should get 4.
How do i construct an argument for the count of a char as
referenced by
another chunk description (other than char)?
Your explanation is confusing.
Show some more examples of what you want.
There are only words, items, lines as chunks, so I am not sure what
you mean
by 'other chunk description'.
What kind of data/text are you working with?
-- user input, published data, paragraphs, inventory lists
-- music titles, album names, etc

Hi Randall,
How do I get the char count (number) of the first char of a
particular
word (say "word 4") of a string?
do you mean,
the charToNum of char 1 of word x of myString
