Ken, I can't get [your] function to work. It never exits out of the repeat. Although the matchChunk does return true, the tStart and tEnd variables are never being filled with anything. What am I doing wrong?
(Please excuse my ignorance in regards to the matchChunk call.. I've read the docs about a zillion times and I still don't get matchChunk and matchText) Thanks! -Dan > I'm here! :-) It's a little tricky (what with the capitalization and > everything), but here goes: > > function replaceGender whatText > local tStart,tEnd > put "he,him,himself,his,he's,boy,guy" into SearchWordsMale > put "she,her,herself,her,she's,girl,gal" into SearchWordsFemale > set the wholeMatches to true > repeat forever > get > matchChunk(whatText,"[^A-Za-z0-9](boy|h(e|im|is|imself|e's)|guy)[^A-Za-z0-9] > ",tStart,tEnd) > if it is true then > put char tStart to tEnd of tText into tFoundChunk > put (charToNum(toUpper(char 1 of tFoundChunk)) = charToNum(char 1 of > tFoundChunk) into isUpper > put itemOffset(tFoundChunk,SearchWordsMale) into tItem > if tItem <> 0 then > put item tItem of SearchWordsFemale into temp > if isUpper then put toUpper(char 1 of temp) into char 1 of temp > put temp into char tStart to tEnd of whatText > else > -- you decide... bail? error out? ignore? > end if > else > exit repeat > end if > end repeat > return whatText > end replaceGender _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
