I am poking around in a textField to ascertain if the
double-byte char just before the insertion point is either:
1. Bang up against the left-hand side of the textField
or
2. A space.
#1 is dead easy; the space is proving rather difficult.
My code goes something like this:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
put the word 4 of the selectedChunk into W4
put (W4 - 1) into W5
get charToNum(char W5 to W4 of fld "MyGuff")
if it = empty or space then
put "EMPTY or SPACE"
else
put "STUFF HERE"
end if
end mouseUp
tried replacing "space" with "32"
for some funny reason this detects the left-hand side of the fld "MyGuff",
but not if there is a space on the left of the insertion point.
A real bu**er right now.
sincerely, Richmond.
