I think Jim pointed it out because the OP was new to LiveCode and the behavior isn't intuitive. If you can still run HC, you can test it there too. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

(smile) One of the difficulties with using HyperCard as a basis for any comparison is that Apple killed it so long ago that it's tied in our memory to the feelings of youth: we forget so much and remember only the good times. :) IIRC, Scott Raney sighed with deep resignation more than a few times at having to implement word delineation using HC rules. Punctuation isn't so bad; it's easy to strip those out as stop characters. More challenging, at least conceptually in some cases, is working with quoted strings, which are treated as a single word no matter how many words are between the quotes. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: List Words from Textarea
Thank you guys to all of you for help & sugeestions. The basic idea was to enter on a Textarea some URLs, clicking on a Start Button to open in that application to every 15 seconds every URL from that list. Clicking on a Stop button, to stop that process. First part I've made it with your help, now I have to check how can I open (embedd) an website in the application. Any suggestions? Thank you again.

Re: List Words from Textarea
Caution with this solution. The definition of a 'word' for LiveCode is not what you would normally think. Spaces are not the only white space, and punctuation that is attached to the word is included as part of a word.

Re: List Words from Textarea
Welcome Raz. Pierre's script gives you one good answer. When I read your email, I assumed you wanted to list each word - but avoid duplicates. To do that, you would change the script slightly, to on mouseup set the wholeMatches to true repeat for each word w in fld "myfield" if w is not among the lines of mywordslist then put w& cr after mywordslist end repeat answer mywordslist end mouseup -- Alex.
