Hi Terry,
Here is the real problem.  I don't know much.
I'm sitting here assuming that a word is a word, regardless of whether it is inside quotes. Now I find out there is trueword. It's just hard for me to reconcile LiveCode's boast of "simple English" and stuff like this. The other thing I don't understand is this: Is there any way to search the dictionary on the text of the dictionary and not just on the keywords?
If there is a way to do that, I don't know how.  It would help a lot.
Thanks,
Larry
P.S. That would be a cool thing if they added a wordDel function. It would be REALLY cool if people could write their own functions and then add them to their personal LC dictionary. Probably there is a way to do that, but again, I don't know how.

Wouldn’t it be good if RunRev could add WordDelimiter to the dictionary, would that solve the problem.

I believe it exists in SuperCard.

I thought LiveCode was a more modern version of SuperCard and would surely have this option.

All the best

Terry

the itemDel is the character that delimits ITEMS, not words.
