Hi David,
If I understand correctly what you want I think "hilitedlines" is the magic word for you.
Best regards

Jean-Marc and Chris,
With each of your help the following code works well:
put hilitedline of field "MotorList" into test1
put line test1 of field "MotorList" into tListItem
Thanks,
David

Hi MaxV,
I use rather hilitedlines because the hilitedlines is a best way to store it

Hi Max,
both "hilitedline..." and "the selected text of me" are valid and do the job
The difference is that the latter needs less typing.

Hi Rob,
In the field script this works:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the selectedText of me into whatCard
go to card whatcard
end mouseUp
Only the name of the card should be in the field.

Simon,
Your script:
on mouseUp
put the selectedText of me into whatCard
go to card whatcard
end mouseUp
Compare it with my script:
on mouseUp
get line (the hilitedLines of field "myfield") of field "myfield"
put it into whatcard //so far OK
go to card whatcard //does nothing
end mouseUp
Both scripts do not work.
Why not?
here a part of my scrolling field list:

When a "go" command fails the reason is placed into the result, so you can check that to see what went wrong.
Code: Select all
go to card whatcard
put the result
The error will be in the message box.

Hi friends,
we have solved the puzzle!
There were some strange invsible characters at the end of the lines in the field.
If it would be that easy every time...
