The reason I think Roberts is more the ticket is that it deals with the case where you have a handler 'jumpHigh' as well as a handler 'jump' later in the script -- this means we need to check for the end of the handler name - which could be a space if there are parameters, or cr if not.
We can avoid checking that for the 'end' line by using the third parameter to lineOffset -- lines to skip, so a revised version might be: function extractHandlerFromScript pScript,pHandlerName put lineOffset("on" && pHandlerName & space, pScript) into tHandlerBegin if tHandlerBegin is 0 then put lineOffset("on" && pHandlerName & cr, pScript) into tFooBar1 -- this deals with either space or cr at the end of the handler name -- and we don't need to check for 'function' since it contains 'on' if tHandlerBegin is 0 then return empty put lineOffset("end" && pHandlerName,pScript,tHandlerBegin) into tHandlerEnd if pHandlerEnd is 0 then return empty return line tHandlerBegin to tHandlerEnd of pScript end extractHandlerFromScript Cheers, Mark On 17 Mar 2006, at 02:48, Thomas McGrath III wrote: Mark and Robert, I needed to check for functions as well. So I adapted the script from Mark into this: function getHandlers hName,tControl put the script of card tControl into tScript put tScript get lineOffset("on " & hName,tScript) if it = 0 then get lineOffset("function " & hName,tScript) end if if it = 0 then return "not found" put it into startLine get lineOffset("end " & hName,tScript) return line startLine to it of tScript end getHandlers Thank you so much for your help, Tom On Mar 16, 2006, at 9:16 PM, Mark Smith wrote: Not tested, but something like this should work: function getHandler hName,tControl put the script of control tControl into tScript get lineOffset("on " & hName,tScript) if it = 0 then return "not found" put it into startLine get lineOffset("end " & hName,tScript) return line startLine to it of tScript end getHandler _______________________________________________ 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
