Works great! Thank you very much for the assistance.

Hello all I have a need to save a fields contents to a .txt file and have that figured out. What I am having issues with is the right way to save the file in a specific folder. Right now its placed in the documents folder and Im wondering how to have a folder created within the documents folder and ...

Hello all Can anyone tell me why this script will only run after the button is tapped twice? The answer is probably obvious but I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance. on mouseUp if the environment = "development" then touchEnd 1 lock screen focus on nothing find empty put false into tExit find word"test"...

I believe that is my problem. It is finding the chars in the middle of the string and as a suffix as well. I think what I am seeing is the last find as a suffix. You have me heading in the right direction sensei!

I given myself a headache with this one. Still cant get it to work. if char (word 2 + (field "stringlength" -2 ) of the foundChunk) of fld "Field a" = " " then next repeat if char ((word 2 of the foundChunk) - 1) of fld "Field a" = space then next repeat If I'm starting with the first char of the fo...

Thank you both for the information.Tthe regex works great but not with a few other features I need to incorporate. Thanks for the concept for future use though; its much appreciated. Craig, I get what you are saying and appreciate the teaching environment you have presented. I have figured out the s...

Craig Thank you very much for the assistance. I have it up and running partially thanks to your help. With regard to ignoring the prefix it works great. The find still highlites the same string if it is a suffix of the word. I tried to replicate the same concept for the suffix but run into a loop or...

Hello I'm hoping someone can head me in the right direction here. I have a need to isolate a string of characters in the middle of a word and change that string to red; not if present as a prefix or suffix of the word. As an example, if I use the word "entertainment", I would like the find to ignore...

Hello I have an app and am trying to set up a basic way of users obtaining the latest version. Its a simple concept but will work for my purposes. I'm having some issues though and am wondering if someone can head me in the right direction. I have a text field (version) and its contents are the apps...

Thanks for the response. Yes, I am a "complete beginner" as this forum title details. I believe you are correct on the stack/card issue. I had the global variable set on one stack and expected it to be available to pull from on another stack. What is odd is that it works on the iOS simulator, just n...

Hello all I have an app that contains two cards. I am running into an issue that I can't seem to figure out. Here is some background: The first card has a multiline text control that accepts user input text. I have a global variable MyVarText that stores the text. When a user taps a button, they are...

Hello all I have a number of apps currently available on the App Store but have run into some challenges with the latest group I have submitted. Recently they have been rejected for the same reason. It looks like they are becoming more an more critical. They say the app..... "Did not include iOS fea...

Hello selectedChunk does not seem to work either. To confuse things further, I have another stack that uses the same script and it works fine. Anyway, not the best way to handle it I'm sure but I have come up with a fix for my goal. I have a string of text that is stored in a variable. When my stack...

Hello I have an issue that has me stumped. I have a button that clears some text formatting in a text field. For some reason the result provides me with underlines text in the first (Field s) text field. I have tried setting the the textstyle to plain with still no result. Any ideas? on mouseUp if t...

Thanks once again! Works great.....
