Hi Lestroso,

I'm not sur the find command is the best way to do that, but it s possible

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   find "pippo" in fld 1
   put  the foundchunk into tFC
   find ""
   put word 4 of tFC into tEnd
   put char tEnd +2 to 30 of fld 1 into tCont
   put offset(" ",tCont) into tEndWord
   select char (tEnd +2) to (tEnd + tEndWord) of fld 1
   put tEnd && tEndWord && tCont
end mouseUp

You can use also wordoffset like this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put wordoffset("pippo", fld 1 ) into tOffW
   select word tOffW +1 of fld 1
end mouseUp
