A bit of a hack, but may help?
on deconstruct_Object someObject, @someControl, @cardObject, @stackName
-- <hack>
put extract_StackObject(someObject) into stackObject
put the last word of stackObject into stackName
delete char 1 of stackName
delete last char of stackName
-- put the short name of stackObject into stackName
-- </hack>
put "(^.*) of (card .*) of stack" && quote & "(.*)" & quote into
someReg
if matchtext(someObject, someReg, someControl, cardObject,
stackNameBit) is true then
return stackObject
else if word 1 of someObject is "stack" then
put "^stack" && quote & "(.*)" & quote into someReg
if matchText(someObject, someReg, stackNameBit) is true then
-- a stack
put empty into someObject
put empty into cardObject
return stackObject
else
return "Not a well formed MC object"
end if
else if word 1 of someObject is "card" then
put "(^card .*) of stack" && quote & "(.*)" & quote into someReg
if matchtext(someObject, someReg, cardObject, stackNameBit) is
true then
put empty into someObject
return stackObject
else
return "Not a well formed MC object"
end if
else -- it's a group not on a card
put "(^.*) of stack" && quote & "(.*)" & quote into someReg
if matchtext(someObject, someReg, someControl, stackNameBit) is
true then
put empty into cardObject
return stackObject
else
return "Not a well formed MC object"
end if
end if
end deconstruct_Object
function extract_StackObject someObject
if someObject is empty then put the long name of the target into
someObject
setOffsets_StackObject someObject, stackNameStart, stackNameEnd
return char stackNameStart to stackNameEnd of someObject into
longStackName
end extract_StackObject
on setOffsets_StackObject someObject, @stackNameStart, @stackNameEnd
-- hack assumes last char is quote
put the number of chars of someObject into stackNameEnd
put "stack" && quote into stackStart
put offset(stackStart, someObject) into stackNameStart
end setOffsets_StackObject

Hi,
Does anyone know of a function that will extract name of the
Control, Group, Card and Stack from a long name string?
e.g. I have a string of the form:
control "A" of group "B" of card "C" of stack "D"
And I would like to have:
local myControlName = A
local myGroupName = B
local myCardName = C
local myStackName = D
Any tips of how to write some code to do this would be greatly
appreciated if there is not a standard function available.
I haven't used the string function in RunRev much and I'm having
difficulty in working out the best way to do this.
Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
