How to enter chars at the place one clicked on? [SOLVED]

I want to enter "(·)" into a word in a label at the position where a user clicked: "example" should become "examp(·)le" afterwards (it's for an educational training on hyphenation).
I found the function clickChar. It returns the character the user has clicked on, which is fine. But how can I insert "(·)" after this character? I need to get the position of the clicked char in the field, somehow - but how? Other solutions?

Hi,
It seems clickcharchunk function does the job
Code: Select all
on mouseup
put "(.)" into the clickcharchunk
end mouseup
Best regards

That's it! Much easier than I feared...
I modified your solution to…
Code: Select all
put "(.)" after the clickcharchunk
…to get the desired solution.
Thank you for this quick help!

Hi Richmond,
I tested your script but it doesn't work
I get an error, "chunk: no target found" because the selectedchunk is empty
Kind regards

Sorry Richmond,
it works with traversalon = true
(not needed with clickcharchunk)

Quite possibly, but over here my stack works exactly as I programmed it.
