Martin,
Thanks for your suggestion. It did not work for me - reporting:
Type Function: error in function handler
Object edtText
Line put Lookupchar(char beforecharpos of me) into newbeforechar
Hint Lookupchar
The object field is "edtText" but if I change me to edtText
that throws up an error too. I am new to Rev and this kind
of scripting. Am awaiting delivery of Dans book in three weeks!
To explain a little more why the cursor position is important...
User entering text can be dealt with as keyDown.
But if User goes back and inserts cursor in an existing word,
I need to know what is either side so that those characters can
be matched against a list and replaced if necessary.
Hope that clarifies?
Thanks for your help,
Adrian

Hi Adrian
I don't fully understand what you're asking but you can check the
cursor location with the selectedchunk property. eg. the following
field script might be a starting point for replacing your before char:
on keydown
put word 4 of the selectedchunk of me into beforecharpos
put Lookupchar(char beforecharpos of me) into newbeforechar
put newbeforechar into char beforecharpos of me
pass keydown
end keydown
regards

I'm new to Revolution (using 2.7.3 trial on Mac OS X)
and want to create both Mac+Win programs of the solution.
In a text field I want the User to enter text.
The useUnicode will be set to true for a double-byte font which
will be developed with special characters.
(Although I want to test this with any single-byte first).
As the User types each letter from the keyboard I need the program to:
1. check which (if any) letters are BEFORE the cursor/insertion point
2. check which (if any) letters are AFTER the cursor/insertion point
3. REPLACE beforeCharacter, enteredCharacter and afterCharacter
from a table that has been prepared in advance.
For example, as the User enters text;
ABCDE is entered but needs to be replaced with additional characters -
AggBhhC
Once entered, it may need to be corrected;
AggBhhC is already on-screen.
User places insertion point somewhere in the word and begins
entering more text, which again, must refer to the table for
replacement.
I've looked at the relevant ways I think it should be done but as I'm
completely new to Rev, this is just beyond my scope at the moment.
A starting point would be very helpful if anyone can assist?
Thanks,
Adrian Williams
