This is fast and easy. I've never seen a function like this where the parameter seemed empty and it worked that way.
Yes, normally we think of commands as the operations _on_ variables. Yet, there are a few functions with side effects, such as matchText(). You can build your own commands and functions that work this way by using reference parameters (see @ in the Transcript Dictionary). For example, you can code a swap command as a handler with two reference parameters.
I like the way it returns 1 for error testing.
This is the number of variables converted. You are using a trivial case of only trying to convert one. Success is typically when the number attempted is the number converted. In this case, 1.
...put 1 into i repeat while i <= 32
put i + 4 into i end repeat
From the TD, it looks like this should work, too:
repeat with i = 1 to 29 step 4 -- last halfBlock is of 'char 29 to 32' ... end repeat
I'm glad this is working well.
