I think this solves the problem. You want to make sure that there is a ">" but not if it is found after a "<".
on mouseUp put the htmlText of fld 1 into theHtml replace "size=""e with "size="&numtoChar(1500) in theHTML set the itemdel to numToChar(1500) if the number of items of theHTML<>1 then put 0 into itemCount repeat for each item theItem in theHTML add 1 to itemCount if itemCount=1 then put theItem into newHTML next repeat end if put 1 into counter put offset (">", theItem) into tLeft put offset ("<" , theItem) into tRight if tLeft <> 0 then -- found it if tRight <> 0 and tRight > tLeft then-- found "<" and after ">" which is ok repeat forever add 1 to counter if char counter of theItem=quote then exit repeat end repeat put char 1 to counter-1 of theItem into theSize put theSize + 1 into theSize put theSize into char 1 to counter-1 of theItem end if end if put quote&theItem after newHTML end repeat set the htmlText of fld "test" to newHTML end if set the textSize of fld "test" to \ the effective textSize of fld "test"+1 end mouseUp On Jul 9, 2013, at 10:20 AM, Mike Bonner <bonnm...@gmail.com> wrote: > You might look at "styledtext" which returns an array describing all the > text variations in the field.
