Rev 2.6.1
Greetings,
I've been trying to figure out how to get the chunk info from lines
other than what is currently selected....
Say the caret is on line 10, I want to get the chunk starting from
the beginning of line 20 to the beginning of line 30. Not the text
of those lines, but the chunk info itself. But I don't want to
move the caret from where it's at.
I've scoured the docs to try and find what I need to accomplish this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Garret, do you mean something like this?
line 10 to 20 of fld "myfld"
Or do you need to select from a specific character of a specific line
to a specific character on another line? The following, for instance,
is not legal syntax:
char 5 of line 10 to char 1 of line 20 of fld "myfld" ---no workee
(as you've probably figured out.)
I would try something like:
put length(line 1 to 9 of fld "myfld" into startchr
put length(line 1 to 19 of fld "myfld" into endchr
select char startchr to endchr of fld "myfld"
--(or whatever you want to do with the chunk
Is this what you're after?
