I'm sure I'm missing something simple here but...
I need to use a wildcard in the lineOffset function but I can't seem to find the correct
invocation.
put lineoffset("local*"&tFunctionName, tScript) into tPos
always returns zero
put lineoffset(tFunctionName, tScript) into tPos
of course returns a line number, but possibly not the right one
put lineoffset("local"&&tFunctionName, tScript) into tPos
gives me the correct line in some cases but fails for
local tSomeFunction,tOtherFunction
Can anyone give me the correct syntax for using a wildcard string as an argument to lineOffset?
Thanks in advance - I've spent enough time on my own trying to figger this out.
I don't think lineoffset supports wildcards, but you could do it with
matchChunk.
