Thanks Björnke, Eric and Marielle,
You all helped me.
In the mean time I got the matchChunkpart also worked out, and am
putting it all together now.
I will try to make a complete textMenu example, with all the features
you ever wanted,
plus a few more I hope (well, we will see about that one)
Regex can be really fun and it's not quite that difficult after all and
tremendously usefull.
It took me a while but I learned quite a lot, and all though I don't
know every thing I am
certainly not afraid of regex anymore.
I am putting the last bits and pieces together and smooth the whole
thing a bit.
It's still quite experimental at the moment, but as soon as it's
"descent" I will post it
In the mean time all the best.

Hi all,
I am trying to implement a text menu and need to find all the
fontNames
and text attributes in the selectedChunk first to update my menu and
afterwards
to handle the choice.
As long as all the text has all the same attributes (bold / italic
etc) it's no problem
but I need also to find all the attributes when it's mixed.
I have been trying to get the instances of <font face=" xxxx xxx -
xxx" [Size="yy"] [color="#ZZZZZZ"]>
to extract all the parts like, the fontname, the size and the color
if applicable with matchChunk.
you could get the foregroundColor (or more aptly named the textColor)
of the char. The textStyle property reports the current styles
delimited by comma, if you query only one style at once. The textSize
again returns mixed for a whole selection, but you can get it char per
char, and it will give you exact data that way.
so for example:
--preparation
put empty into theColor
put empty into theSize
put empty into theStyle
put word two of the selectedchunk into theStart
put word four of the selectedchunk into theEnd
put word -1 of the selectedchunk into theField
--getting the actual data from the chars
repeat with x = theStart to theEnd
put (the effective textColor of char x of field theField) & comma
after theColor
put (the effective textSize of char x of field theField) & comma
after theSize
put (the effective textStyle of char x of field theField) & comma
after theStyle
end repeat
--now we can do whatever we want with the assembled list
--for example to know what the dominant textSize is:
put empty into theSizes
--adding them up by using an array
repeat for each item theItem in theSize
add 1 to theSizes[theItem]
end repeat
--finall cleanup of the data we got
combine theSizes using return and comma
sort theSizes numeric by item 2 of each
put theSizes
--and finally you got your most used size!
put line -1 of theSizes
hope it does what you want?
