extract element with itemDelimiter

[problème]

Hello,
i have a variable that contain :
word1:w1
word2:w2

i would know how to extract w1 and w2 , i think i have to use " set the itemDelimiter to colon " but i can't understand how to use it after.
(i will put w1 and w2 into a field "f1" and "f2"

Code: Select all

   put the num of lines of myVariable into nbLigne 
   repeat with ligne=1 to nbLigne 
            ...
            put ... into field ("f"& ligne) 
  end repeat

Hi.

If you had your data in a variable "yourVar":

Code: Select all

 set the itemDel to ":"
   repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of yourVar
      put item 2 of line y of it into field ("F" & y)
   end repeat

At the line put item 2 of line y of it into field ("F" & y) when i use "it" there are nothing in the fields, i remplaced by "yourVar" and it's work correctly.

And if i want put news words in place of "word1", "word2" into myVariable

Code: Select all

   set the itemDel to ":"
repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of yourVar
  put field ("f"& y) into (item 2 of line y of yourVar)
end repeat

Yes, we sometimes add some tiny, but rather obvious errors to test you attention!
