Hi Kaveh,

If you don't mind,
here is a slightly optimized and less verbose version of your code:

Code: Select all

   on mouseup
   local tOriginal, tResult
   put fld "Original" into tOriginal

   repeat forever
      if not matchChunk(tOriginal, "@{(.+?)}", tStart, tEnd) then exit repeat
      put char tStart to tEnd of tOriginal & cr after tResult
      delete char 1 to tEnd of tOriginal
   end repeat

   delete last char of tResult
   put tResult into fld "Result"
end mouseup

Regards,

Thierry
