IF and... multiple OR | (=*.*=) A newbie nightmare

[Mariasole]

Hello to all!
I am continuing to study LiveCode... it's fantastic!!!!!
But now I'm stopped on this IF statement... (=*.*=)


Here's the problem in "PigCode" (I'm a guru of PigCode!!!! )

I have a list of words into field fList:

cat,
cat
,cat
!cat
cat!
cat$
cat%

If any of these words contain at the end "," or "!" or "$" doSomething

I've tried so:

Code: Select all

repeat for each word tWord in field "fList"

      IF (",") or ("!") is the last char of tWord THEN answer last char of tWord

end repeat

This in fact works! BUT....

Code: Select all

repeat for each word tWord in field "fList"

      IF (",") or ("!") or ("$")  is the last char of tWord THEN answer last char of tWord

end repeat

This does not work!

So I thought this

Code: Select all

repeat for each word tWord in field "fList"
IF "(?:[,!$])"  is the last char of tWord THEN answer  last char of tWord
end repeat

But it does not work ...

Help me to solve this newbie nightmare for a newbie !
Thanks!!!

Baci!!!!!

This should do the trick, if you don't want anything more sophisticated

Code: Select all

put "(?:[,!$])" into tMatches
repeat for each word tWord in field "fList"
  if the last char of tWord is among the chars of tMatches then
     answer last char of tWord
  end if
end repeat

on mouseUp
put ("!" & "$" & "%" & ",") into theChars

repeat with count = 1 to the number of lines of fld 1
repeat with count2 = 1 to the number of chars of line count of fld 1
if itemOffset( char count2 of theChars,line count of fld 1) <> 0 then
put count & cr after theLines
end if
end repeat
end repeat

put theLines
end mouseUp

Yep, it is still broken, I already mailed to support.
Maybe you should also write a littel mail?
Would not hurt

[SparkOut]

but you can just type "

Code: Select all

" and "

" in the edit window
