How can I make Revolution count each sentence in a field as an item -- so that I can then easily manipulate whole sentences as item 1, item 2 etc. In other words is there a magical way to make several characters ("." "?" "!") count as the same itemDelimiter?
All best, Toma
Toma,
I'm not sure what kind of manipulation you had in mind but as an example of what you might try, the mouseUp handler below will interchange sentences 3 and 5 in text in which all sentences end in .,? or !
It's not pretty. It puts a new delimiter at the end of each sentence, does the manipulation and then deletes the delimiter.
On mouseUP put "*" into tChar --Or some less likely character put field 1 into tText put addDelimiter(tText,tChar) into tText put interchangeSentences(3,5,tText,tChar)into tText replace tChar with "" in tText put tText into field 2 end mouseUP
function addDelimiter temp,tChar replace "." with "." & tChar in temp replace "?" with "?" & tChar in temp replace "!" with "!" & tChar in temp return temp end addDelimiter
function interchangeSentences n,m,theText,tChar set the itemdelimiter to tChar put item n of theText into temp put item m of theText into item n of theText put temp into item m of theText return theText end interchangeSentences
Hope this gives you some ideas.
