Hello,
Given this script:
put "123" into field "abc"
focus on field"abc"
what additional script lines would cause the insertion point to be
placed at the end of the line? or, say, after the number "2"?
See "select" in the dictionary (the command, not the keyword.) Examples
pertaining to text, with my comments, are:
select text of field ID 3 -- selects all text
select after word 34 of field "myField" -- selects after a particular word
select empty -- removes all selections
You can select after or before any text chunk. To place the cursor after
"123" in your example:
select after line 1 of fld "abc"
Or:
select after char 3 of fld "abc"
Or to select after the number "2":
select after char 2 of fld "abc"
Or:
select after char offset("2",fld "abc") of fld "abc"
Or you can select "before" any of those:
select before line 2 of fld "abc"
select before char 3 of fld "abc"
... etc.
