Ah.

I am always the last to know that the OP is either working with mobil, or with a dataGrid.

Hi. Look up the "sort" and "sort container" commands in the dictionary. Make a list, and then play with the "sortKey" Play with that a lot. As for picking one line out of many, We must know more about what you need and intend. And you may well need to clarify that for yourself as well. The good news...

Hi. One at a time: if the loc of me is <20 graphic "Grid V1" then The loc must be defined by two integers separated by a comma. Period. So (you have to think to yourself) how does LC interpret the phrase " <20 graphic "Grid V1" as a pair of integers separated by a comma? I am not being flip. I belie...

Good point. And I suppose that validating the style of the clickText would require an extra step.

I guess I was more interested in suggesting a basic technique than thinking through the issues.

Hi.

I never looked at a lesson, but did it really leave you hanging without a way forward?

What Dixie said, and also you might know that (assuming the field is locked):

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
launch URL the clickText
end mouseUp

is another way.

If all the OP wanted to do was count two-word phrases, and not find them in their offsets as well, Then why not just(in v.7 and above): set the itemDel to "has fleas" answer the number of items of fld "yourField" - 1 Rereading the very first post, this is all that was asked for. The new ItemDel can ...

Mark,

I doubt I can prove it to anyone from here.

I will try it on other machines. I can do this on about 15, and report back.

Calm down, everyone. My dictionary is v6, so I for one would not have seen that notice. And a quick perusal of the updates to the dictionary in the list of release notes on the LC site did not show the change, though I could have missed it. But I do believe that this is a powerful enhancement to an ...

Mark.

Wouldn't that be earth shattering news, that such a thing is machine dependent?

...Awful!

Was that a joke that preceded Monty Python?

I thought it was v.7x.

And is any string supported?

Code: Select all

set the itemDel to "my dog has fleas"

I am still in v. 6.7, so if you have read the thread in the "Feature Requests" pane, the newest itemDel is your friend. It can be the "custom chunk". I am not sure where the itemDelimiter is no longer restricted to single characters, but rather to any string (I think this is right), so if you set th...

Hi.

Check out a post I made in the "Feature Request" area, "Custom Chunk"

Hi. Someone more clever than I will undoubtedly come up with a solution along the lines you asked for. I am the one who touts "a little analysis is worth a million lines of code" But after a little while, I resorted to an ordinary brute-force method. Maybe it will be of some use to you. I randomly s...

Thought I would start a new thread, since the old one is getting long in the tooth. Say you have a valid string in the clickChunk (char 103 to 105 of field 10). So: get "XYZ" put it into the clickChunk -- "LINE "A" put it into char (word 2 of the clickChunk) to (word 4 of the clickChunk) of fld 10 -...
