Maybe I am missing something. Observe the following code:
put ("store " & quote & "1234" & quote & " to mbob1, mbob2, mbob3")
into fline
-- which produces a string "store "1234" to mbob1, mbob2, mbob3"
-- Notice the embedded quotes
put wordOffset("to", fline) -- returns 1, as in the first word after
the last embedded quote
Apparently the quotes are resetting the counter for the function. My
problem is, I am writing a script that can convert some basic Foxpro
source code to Revolution Script. It's perfectly acceptable in Foxpro
to say:
store "1234" to mbob1, mbob2, mbob3
and Foxpro programmers do it early and often to initialize variables.
I am trying to end up with:
put "1234" into mbob1
put "1234" into mbob2
put "1234" into mbob3
Trouble is, I do not know what may come before the word "to". It
could be any construct. Since Revolution does not support putting
something into multiple variables, this becomes problematic to
convert. I suppose I could hack a way around it. I think I will end
up using offset() instead to avoid this. It's just a curious thing
that Revolution will treat fline as one whole string, but the
function seems to burp when it encounters embedded quotes.
Not complaining, just observing.

ps. Just an update. Offset() returns 2 when I use Offset("to", fline)
BUT... here we go kiddies... Offset(" to ", fline) returns the
correct value of 13! Hah! I guess you could say the function is
blowing chunks! (A little [very little] programmers humor). Notice
the spaces before and after "to". What an odd function!
