Hi Alex and Jonathan, thanks a lot for your (partly philosophical ;-) answers... I think i now have more solutions than i will ever need :-D I LOVE THIS LIST!

RE: clicktext and decimal numbers
For a spellcheck for a program at work - I had to make it so that it selected the actual word, even if that word contained a dash. I did it basically by starting with the character under the mouse click, then counting to the left until reaching a space or linefeed or the beginning of the field - then also counting to the right with similar limits. The code is pretty simple, but you might be able to streamline it - my programming skills are still in the amateur category: On mousedown put word 2 of mousecharchunk() into aaa if ((character aaa of me <> " ") and (character aaa of me <> linefeed)) then put aaa into aaaleft put aaa into aaaright put the number of characters in me into PPP repeat until stopvar = 1 if stopleft <> 1 then if ((character aaaleft of me = " ") or (character aaaleft of me = linefeed)) then put 1 into stopleft put (aaaleft + 1) into aaaleft else if (aaaleft = 1) then put 1 into stopleft else put (aaaleft - 1) into aaaleft end if end if if stopright <> 1 then if ((character aaaright of me = " ") or (character aaaright of me = linefeed)) then put 1 into stopright put (aaaright - 1) into aaaright else if (aaaright = PPP) then put 1 into stopright else put (aaaright + 1) into aaaright end if end if if (stopleft = 1) and (stopright = 1) then put 1 into stopvar end repeat put character aaaleft to aaaright of me into ccc end if end mousedown This script winds up with the word you clicked on being put into the ccc variable. I use it to check against a list of words that are frequently used improperly in medical/scientific writing, to make sure I don't miss a possible mistake when editing submissions to our publication.

Short question: When clicking on decimal numbers like 12.34, "the clicktext"*** returns "12", "." or "34", which is not very helpful if you need the complete number... *** "clickcharchunk" and "clickchunk" etc... are working the same way :-( Now i worked around this by setting the "textstyle" of those numbers to "link" and set the underlinelinks to false set the linkcolor to 0,0,0 set the linkvisitedcolor to 0,0,0 set the linkhilitecolor to 0,0,0 to make the numbers look like any other text. Now "the clicktext" returns "12.34", which is what i want. But this way other links do not look like links anymore, since these properties are valid either globally or for a specific stack... Does anybody have another solution for this phenomenon? SHORT scripts preferred ;-) Thanks in advance.

SHORT scripts preferred ;-) You could do this by setting the textColor of the numbers to something subtly different from the remainder of the text (e.g. 1,1,1 instead of black), and the testing the color of the clickChunk ? (Obviously, only if you aren't already using mixed colour text :-) If you can't do that and need to script a solution, then it becomes a philosophical question - what's a number ? (Assume the click is between the "1" and the "2" in the following examples) 12 ?yes, value 12. 12.34 ? yes, value 12 and a bit -12.34 ? yes probably, value negative 12 and a bit +12.34 ? yes probably 12.34; more text ? yes, value 12 and a bit with a semi-colon punctuation to follow 12.34. more text ? Maybe ! 12 and a bit followed by a period ? or maybe not. 12.34.56 ? perhaps not, but perhaps yes 56.12.34 ? probably not - would it be 56 and a bit or 12 and a bit ?? 1234more text ? maybe text1234more text ? maybe If you can give the right answer to some of these (either - "can't happen", or "don't care") then you can write a pretty short script to deal with it; if you can't ignore them, then the script may be rather longer. -- Alex. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: clicktext and decimal numbers
Hi Robert, Would something along the lines of the following work? get word (the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the clickCharChunk) of fld "xxx"))) of fld "xxx" Way cool! Got it to work with some brackets less ;-) put word the number of words of (char 1 to (word 2 of the clickCharChunk) of fld "xxx") of fld "xxx" you may need to check first whether clickChar is a number or at least not a space or another word delimiter Thanks, i really love one-liners :-) And this list!

Hi Xavier, thanks, but that would be far too easy ;-) Actually the numbers can be anywhere inside a locked field... Then try to find the space before and after the clickchunk... Yep, that's what Scott already offered :-) Still no submissions for logos for the RunRev sponsored GT car... It's free, and you'll get car pictures too for your websites...
