using chunk expressions in native iOS "multiline" controls

[Coffee1633]

Is is possible to use chunk expressions in iOS controls specifically multiline controls?

Lets say I want to get the 3rd word from fld "myFieldName", then I would normally use

put word 3 of fld "myFieldName" into tMyVariable
//do something with tMyVariable

Is it possible to refer to the native control like I would fld "myFieldName"?

Hi Coffe1633,

not directly!

You need to get the text of the native "text" control first and process that:
...
put mobileControlGet("name of your native multiline text control here! Or just its ID ", "text") into tInputText
put word 3 of tInputText into tMyVariable
...


Best
