I've started to study Livecode, don't know too much of it. I'm living about 
250km north of Danube (Focsani, Romania)

So any suggestions so I can read or list all the words from a Textarea?


Thanks, 
Raz.

I set up a stack with 2 fields:

1. field "targetTEXT" containing the text I wanted to analyse,

2. field "wordList" (a listField).

then I made a button with the following script:

on mouseUp
   put the number of words in fld "targetText" into TXNUM
   repeat with AA = 1 to TXNUM
  put word AA of fld "targetTEXT" into line AA of fld "wordList"
  end repeat
end mouseUp

clicked on the button and "away we go".

 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

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.

Actually it's exactly HyperTalkish. It's always been that way, all the 
way back to MetaCard and HyperCard before that. A word includes anything 
between white space, including any punctuation. In fact, I think MC and 
Rev did it that way to maintain compatibility with HC.

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.

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.

Re: List Words from Textarea

Jacqi, forgive me for questioning/doubting you, but I really have
trouble believing that, what with the literally thousands of scripts
I wrote in HC over a period of nearly 20 years. I just don't remember
having to strip commas from words when parsing and sorting text. If
you say so, but why would Jim have had to point that out if it is the
"normal" way of doing things? I guess the mind IS the "first" thing
to go. (smile)


It's easy to test. Put this in the message box in any version of Rev or 
MC, as early as you have versions for them:


get "However, this is an example."
put word 1 of it && last word of it

You should see:

   However, example.

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.
