Hi Devin & Mark,

Thanks for this solution.

Does that statement create an implied loop?



I don’t think so. It’s similar to substring functions in other languages. As 
Mike said, string chunk expressions are one of the best things about LiveCode.

You can do things like:

  put char 5 to 25 of line 4 of tVar into tVar2

I discuss it in my lesson on working with text in LiveCode:
