Hi Ivaho,
Something like that ?
Code: Select all
on swapLines
put the hilitedlines of fld 1 into tHi1
put the hilitedlines of fld 2 into tHi2
if tHi1 = empty or tHi2 = empty then exit swapLines
put line tHi1 of fld 1 into tCont1
put line tHi2 of fld 2 into tCont2
put tCont1 into line tHi2 of fld 2
put tCont2 into line tHi1 of fld 1
end swapLines
Kind regards
Jean-marc

Hi Ivo,
hint: Jean-Marcs solution will only work with LIST fields!

Hi Klaus,
Selecting two chunks in two different fields is possible ?

Hi Jean-Marc,
yes, I tested this and was also surprised
The trick is to uncheck "traversal on" for the fields, but then you cannot write into the fields, so it is in fact useless
However you can put text into these fields by script and THEN you can have a selection in each field by doucleclicking words.
So this is of doubtful use...
