I looked at matchChunk in the dictionary & it seems to return a boolean, rather than the offset. The boolean is just whether or not the matchChunk operation was successful; you need to provide variables for the start and end character offsets in the function call: if matchChunk(myString,"([^\t])",tStart,tEnd) then put "The offset to the first non-tab character is:" && tStart else -- matchChunk had an error because the regex was bad or something end if I know you've moved on, but just for the record... :D Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
