Spaced Out
I am poking around in a textField to ascertain if the double-byte char just before the insertion point is either: 1. Bang up against the left-hand side of the textField or 2. A space. #1 is dead easy; the space is proving rather difficult. My code goes something like this: on mouseUp set the useUnicode to true put the word 4 of the selectedChunk into W4 put (W4 - 1) into W5 get charToNum(char W5 to W4 of fld "MyGuff") if it = empty or space then put "EMPTY or SPACE" else put "STUFF HERE" end if end mouseUp tried replacing "space" with "32" for some funny reason this detects the left-hand side of the fld "MyGuff", but not if there is a space on the left of the insertion point. A real bu**er right now. sincerely, Richmond. ___ 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
Spaced Out
Running a detection script like this:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
put the word 4 of the selectedChunk into W4
put (W4 - 1) into W5
get charToNum(char W5 to W4 of fld "MyGuff")
put it into UNIK
put the word 2 of the selectedChunk into W2
put (W2 - 1) into W!
get charToNumber(char W2 to W1 of fld "MyGuff")
put it into UNIQ
put uniEncode("The insertion point is between '") into P1
put uniEncode("' and '") into P2
put uniEncode("'") into P3
set the unicodeText of fld "WhereAreWe" to P1 & numToChar(UNIK) & P2
& numToChar(UNIQ) & P3
end mouseUp
detects a SPACE when the insertion point is BEFORE the space, but
does NOT detect a SPACE when the insertion point is AFTER a space.

Where am I going wrong?

Re: Spaced Out
Hi Richmond,
You have W! instead of W1. W1 is undefined. Also, shouldn't it be W4-1 and
W2+1? Have you checked that W4 > W2? I know, this is a tricky thing, struggled
a lot with it myself.

Yes, it should be W2 + 1, and that was me being careless copying the
script into my e-mail client; as with 'W!'.
The script still has the same problem.
I will keep on fiddling around; Thanks for the support.

Re: Spaced Out
I wonder why this doesn't work: put the char before the selectedText and nor does this: put the char before the selectedChunk ?

Cracked It!
And a right "@#$%^" it is too . . . :(

numToChar(UNIQ)& P3
end mouseUp
detects a SPACE when the insertion point is BEFORE the space, but
does NOT detect a SPACE when the insertion point is AFTER a space.
to detect a SPACE one has to TURN OFF useUnicode:
set the useUnicode to false
put the word 4 of the selectedChunk into WONKY
get charToNum(char WONKY of fld "MyGuff")
put it
set the useUnicode to true
"somebody", cough, cough, ought to get all this sorted out in the
Documentation.

Re: Spaced Out
Hi Richmond,
Are you doing this on a PowerPC processor? I think your script will break on a
computer with x86 processor. In unicode, a space still is space & NULL on x86
platforms and NULL & space on PPC platforms. Your script seems to find a space
on PPC platforms but a NULL character on x86 platforms.
