Simple problem, but not having luck with a solution.

I am trying to remove the selected line from a list field.
Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Wake,

do this:
...
put the hilitedlines of fld "your list field" into line2Bdeleted
## Always a good idea to doublecheck!
if line2Bdeleted <> empty then
delete line line2Bdeleted of fld "your list field"
end if
...

See "hilitedlines" and "selectedtext" (in case you once need the text that is hilited ) in the docs.

Klaus thanks so much! I will give this a try.

It is amazing how difficult it can be to think in terms of plain English when you have been coding in other languages for so long.

This seems like a pretty neat language though.

Edit:
This worked like a charm.
Thanks again!
