Hi Fasasoftware
Have a look to "foundChunk" in the LC dictionary

Hi Lestroso,
I'm not sur the find command is the best way to do that, but it s possible
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
find "pippo" in fld 1
put the foundchunk into tFC
find ""
put word 4 of tFC into tEnd
put char tEnd +2 to 30 of fld 1 into tCont
put offset(" ",tCont) into tEndWord
select char (tEnd +2) to (tEnd + tEndWord) of fld 1
put tEnd && tEndWord && tCont
end mouseUp
You can use also wordoffset like this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put wordoffset("pippo", fld 1 ) into tOffW
select word tOffW +1 of fld 1
end mouseUp
Best regards
