What is after what?

[richmond62]

I am poking around in fields . . .

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
if fld "ff" contains "L" then
put the char after char "K" in fld "ff"
end if
end mouseUp

Does not work . . .

So, I would be grateful if someone could help me to detect
the character after another character in a field.

Your syntax is all wrong. There is no construction in LC to "put the char after char..."

You just made that up.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

put char offset("K",fld "ff") + 1 of fld "ff"

This last will only find the char following the first instance of a "K". Is that enough?

I am starting to post like you do.

Let me know if you need to find all the chars following ALL the "K"s

Experiencing internet probs right now, so will do as
you suggest and revert just as soon as internet sorted out.

Of course I made that up, but at least it sufficed
enough for you to understand what I wanted tdo.

AND your code works perfectly.

Thank you very much indeed.
