Hi samjith,
check "select" in the dictionary, this will let you position the cursor in a field!
E.g. this will place the cursor at the beginning of line 15 of your field:
...
select before line 15 of fld "samjith's nice field"
...

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for the quick reply. Code works fine.
I need certain replaces, if i select "replace_All" from my popup menu. The text in my screen moves automatically.
I want the changes, but i dont need to changes the text in the screen.

Code: Select all
case Revert_Once
put gmouse_line into RevertLine
if backgroundColor of button "UK" is red then
put the htmlText of RevertLine into myR
replace "<strike><font bgcolor=" & quote & "#FFFF00" & quote & ">" & gUS & "</font></strike><font bgcolor=" & quote & "#00FF00" & quote & ">" & gUK & "</font>" with "<font bgcolor=" & quote & "#00FF00" & quote & ">" & gUS & "</font>" in myR
set the htmlText of RevertLine to myR
put myR into gmouse_line
end if
if backgroundColor of button "US" is red then
put the htmlText of RevertLine into myR
replace "<strike><font bgcolor=" & quote & "#FFFF00" & quote & ">" & gUK & "</font></strike><font bgcolor=" & quote & "#00FF00" & quote & ">" & gUS & "</font>" with "<font bgcolor=" & quote & "#00FF00" & quote & ">" & gUK & "</font>" in myR
set the htmlText of RevertLine to myR
put myR into gmouse_line
end if
select before LineFinder
--unlock screen
--lock cursor
break
This is one of the code in my popup menu.
I have a txt file of more than 1000 line in my scrolling field.
If i select the above mentioned code from my popup menu. then replacement works fine. But the problem is that the text in scrolling field scrolls automatically
It is very difficult for me, to find the current line i worked before selecting the popup menu.

Hi samjith,
aha, now I get it (more or less)
I would try to store the current scroll of the field BEFORE replacing etc, and set it back again afterwards.
...
put the scroll of fld "your field here" into tOldScroll
case ...
## Do your replace etc. here...
...
set the scroll of fld "your field here..." to tOldScroll
break
...
At least worth a try!
