Mark, Are you familiar with setting the htmlText of a field? (I've posted a few questions to this list myself recently regarding various aspects of this feature.) You might try making an entire card for each word, set the htmlText of a field in it to your html, sorting the cards by some criteria-perhaps another field with other data in it, and then getting the htmlText of each field in the new order of the cards.
Hope this helps, Ray -----Original Message----- From: use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:use-revolution-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Mark Swindell Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 2:41 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: sorting html text with arrays I'm using the following script to create a glossary/word list of all words appearing in a songbook I'm making in Apple's Pages word processor (over 2,000 unique words). (Thanks to Phil Davis for his help with arrays.) What I am wondering is if the formatted text can be retained in a case like this, and how. My attempts so far have failed, as the htmlText tags are included in the sort... not what I want.) I'd like to be able to paste in from the word processor and do the sort while maintaining formatting (bold, font, font size), and then be able to take that result and copy and paste it back into the word processor. Am I asking too much? Thanks Mark on mouseUp repeat for each word tWord in tStripEm add 1 to aWordCounts[tWord] end repeat put the keys of aWordCounts into tList sort lines of tList put tList into field "sorted3" end mouseUp_______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
