Field "scene" contains text I want to summarize.
Field "test" is the destination field.
This script works, except it replaces strings in field "scene." I want to replace words in field "scene." Many commonly used English words are also little parts of bigger words.
I tried the replaceText command instead. It's commented out. I'm not sure if that's what replaceText is supposed to do. (As I've complained before, the documentation is way too terse for novices like me!)
If replaceText is the right command, maybe I just got the syntax wrong.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
Ask "Enter the intensity of summary you want (an integer from 10 to 99)"
put it into intensity
put field "scene" into whataVar
repeat with i = 1 to intensity
if the shiftKey is down then
exit repeat
end if
put line i of card field "wordlist" into tNum
replace tnum with empty in whatavar
--replaceText(whataVar,tnum,empty)
end repeat
put whataVar into field "test"
end mouseUp
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
