Hello Fredric,
Thank you for your answer. I am experiencing some problems with the code you
suggested. The
end = text.search("\W", pos + " 1 char", regexp=True)
gives me this as a result: TclError: bad text index " 1 char". I tried some
other options for the " 1 char"
part but the result was the same. Any ideas? I am using Windows XP and Python
2.5.
Thanks again for the answer,
Alex
