RE: words matter
Of course. It's exactly what Jim points out. And, I believe in either 2.9 or 3.0 there was a change in how words are delimited. It's in one of the change logs. So this makes words "more equal." ;-) > -Original Message- > From: use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution- > boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Jim Ault > Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 11:13 AM > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: words matter > > I think the rationale is that there is no single character to delimit > words, but rather many possibilities. > [ space tab space.space.tab.space space.cr.space.cr.cr ] > > In the docs > Comments: > A word is delimited by one or more spaces, tabs, or returns, or > enclosed by double quotes.

Re: words matter
I think the rationale is that there is no single character to delimit words, but rather many possibilities. [ space tab space.space.tab.space space.cr.space.cr.cr ] In the docs Comments: A word is delimited by one or more spaces, tabs, or returns, or enclosed by double quotes. A single word can contain multiple characters and multiple items, but not multiple lines. so using put empty into myText put "aa" into word 1 of myText put "bb" into word 2 of myText answer myText does not really define exactly which separation character or characters to use. There is no wordDelimiter. Try this riddle on testt put "thisisa" & cr & "wordOnLine1" into wordz put word 1 of wordz set the lineDelimiter to Z put cr & cr after msg put word 1 of wordz after msg put cr & cr after msg put "thisisaZtimeforallofus" into wordz put word 1 of wordz after msg put cr & cr after msg put line 1 of wordz after msg end testt Conclusion is that you can change the lineDelimiter to 'Z' and get a different line chunk than cr, but this does not change the definition of a word when it comes to a cr. Thus a cr IS always a word separator, but a cr CAN BE a line delimiter. Hope this helps.

Is this perfectly rational (revolution-wise of course)? If I do put empty into myText put "aa" into item 1 of myText put "bb" into item 2 of myText answer myText I get (as expected) "aa,bb" while, if I do put empty into myText put "aa" into word 1 of myText put "bb" into word 2 of myText answer myText I get "aabb" (while I would expect "aa bb"). ? this is revStudio 3.5 gm-2 (and maybe my brains are still in HC) François ___ 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
