Hi all,

I've got a local variable with a bunch of text lines in it.

I'd like to search for a word and either remove or replace that line.

I could have sworn it was to do with lineDelimiter then
replace line
or delete line

But can't seem to get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Barry...

Have a look at 'lineOffset' in the dictionary.

Hi Barry,
See "replace" in LC dictionary also.

No wonder I couldn't remember it.

Code: Select all

put lineOffset(tFindWhichWord, MyData) into tWhichLineFound
if tWhichLineFound > 0 then
    put myNewLine into line tWhichLineFound of MyData    -- Replaces the line
end if

So freakin simple.

I have to write that lineOffset is so weird and hard to remember for me.
But that's LiveCode.
