Code: Select all

end mouseUp

put the num of chars of field "result" into ntotale
FIND "NEXT"
put THE FOUNDTEXT INTO testoinizio
put wordoffset(testoinizio,fld"result") into testoinizio
delete word 1 to testoinizio of fld "RESULT"
find"Results"
put THE FOUNDTEXT INTO testofinale

Buongiorno Lestroso,
no need to FIND anything, since you KNOW that these words are in that field!
Code: Select all
...
on delOneWord
## See below!
## put the num of chars of field "result" into ntotale
put the num of WORDS of field "result" into ntotale
## FIND "NEXT"
## put THE FOUNDTEXT INTO testoinizio
## THE FOUNDTEXT/testoinizio will contain... TADA -> NEXT
## So this does not make any sense! :-D
## So we just do:
put wordoffset("NEXT",fld "result") into testoinizio
delete word 1 to testoinizio of fld "RESULT"
## SAME HERE!
## find"Results"
## put THE FOUNDTEXT INTO testofinale
put wordoffset("Results",fld "result") into testofinale
## ntotale will hold the number of CHARACTERS in that field
## But we need the number of WORDS in that field for the next line!
delete word testofinale to ntotale of fld "RESULT"
put fld "result" into fld "giocare"
end delOneWord
Ciao
Klaus (Claudio Maggiore)

Is "cut" in your working dictionary? If so, just a simple omission. But either one of "cut" or "delete" ought to me a synonym of the other. "Delete" was a Hypercard native word, so I think "cut" should not have its own place, unless it does other things that delete does not.
"Cut" is in my copy of the 9.6.2 dictionary, it's the first hit when searching for "cut".
Cut and delete are different things. Cut not only removes the text or object, it also places it into the clipboard. Delete does not affect the clipboard. Cut is frequently used in an Edit menu switch statement.

No need to get the number of words either, you can use -1:
Code: Select all
delete word testofinale to -1 of fld "RESULT"
