Quoting Mark Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I suspect you're going to need the replaceText function. It uses
regex, which I'm afraid I can't help with. But someone here can and
will, I'm sure...
Yep I eventiually tried that too. I even made it simple and tried it on the
original field.
I used (without any luck)
on mouseUp
replaceText(field "preparsed",[0],comma)
end mouseUp
I get an error at [

Hi All.
I have a field with text items separated with charachters bounded
by multiples
of [*].
eg
[0][0][9]item1[0][0][0][6]item2[0]item3
I would like the separator items [*] or [*][*] or [*][*][*] etc to
be replaced
with a single tab.
I thought of this script
on mouseUp
put "preparsed" into p -- insert your field name here
put empty into v
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of fld p
--put empty into v
get line x of fld p
replace [*] with \
end repeat
end mouseUp
However I keep getting the error
compiling at 9:18:04 AM
Type Expression: bad factor
Object convert [*]n to tab delimiter
Line replace [*] with \
Hint [
Any ideas. Is it the case that I cant use [ as a charachter? It was
inserted OK.
I also tried
on mouseUp
put "preparsed" into p -- insert your field name here
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of fld p
get line x of fld p
replace "[*]" with "\" in
end repeat
put it into field "withtabs"
end mouseUp
And tried
on mouseUp
put "preparsed" into p -- insert your field name here
replace "[*]" with "\" in fld p
put fld p into field "withtabs"
end mouseUp
No Luck.
Cheers
Bob
All the best
Bob
