Greetings, Listas.
The following two lines of code are causing me a headache:
put the number of chars in line 1 of field "result" into theLast put char (theLast - 3) to char (theLast) of line 1 of field "result" -- message box should display the last four chars of line 1 of the field
If I use only the first part of the range - char (theLast - 3) of line 1 of field "result" - or the last part of the range - char (theLast) of line 1 of field "result - I do not get an error.
Obviously I've got some kind of syntax problem with how I'm defining the range. Anyone care to suggest a solution?
Your problem is an extra "char" in there
put char (theLast - 3) to char (theLast) of line 1 of field "result"should be simply
put char (theLast - 3) to (theLast) of line 1 of field "result"
with extra parenthesis if needed.
But the *solution* is what Richard suggested, i.e. use negative indices; except that "theLast-3" should be "-4", so
put char (-4 to -1) of line 1 of field "result"
