matchText can't find handler error...
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 7:12 pm
I am trying to use matchText in a button script. The code looks like this:
When I run this it will put the variable playerlistline into field "TestField". I just did this to confirm the variable is being populated and can be added to TestField.
When it gets to the matchText line I get the error message: "button "AddButton": execution error at line 7 (Handler: can't find handler) near "matchText", char 1"
I read the section on handlers in the User Guide, but I am still not clear as to why LiveCode "can't find handler" in this instance.
Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated,
TJ.
Code: Select all
on MouseUp
put line 25 of field "PlayerList" into playerlistline
put playerlistline into line 1 of field "TestField"
matchText(playerlistline,"name (player)",sc1)
put sc1 into line 2 of field "TestField"
end MouseUpWhen it gets to the matchText line I get the error message: "button "AddButton": execution error at line 7 (Handler: can't find handler) near "matchText", char 1"
