on mouseUp put fld 1 into sFld put fld 2 into tFld put "" into fld 3 -- put 0 into it --*1 put zero into t --*2 repeat with i= 1 to the number of lines in tFld repeat -- get offset(line i of tFld,sfld,it) --*1 get offset(line i of tFld,sfld,t) --*2 put it into t --*2 if it is zero then exit repeat put line i of tFld&&i&&it&return after fld 3 end repeat end repeat end mouseUp
but what happens is along the way it finds a search string in question at char 246674 and then finds it again at 250675 and then finds it again at 246674 then at 250675 then at 246674 then at 250675 ...
Is offset not working or am I not?
When you do the second search, t already contains an 'skip' value; the result from the offset search is relative to that.
So instead of
put it into t
you should do
add it to t

Someday I will read the complete description in the documentation all by myself.:)
Thanks.
But what is the advantage of returning the offset from the last offset rather than the offset from beginning?
I think I do need to insert put zero into t after the first repeat and before the second repeat.
