Sorry about the quick response in the previous email, as I was trying to
give an example of a repeat loop, and being a bit inaccurate. I did not get
what you were trying to accomplish...I am still not sure what you are trying
to do...., but here is one way of joining tasks...
--assuming this would be a desired result
input = "ABC"
edit field ="ACB"
output = "132"
-----thus use the following
on mouseup
repeat for each char CH in fld editField
put lookupchar(CH, fld input) after newString
end repeat
put newString into fld output
answer "You bidding has been done, Master" & cr & \
fld editField & " has been decoded to " & cr & \
fld ouput
end mouseup
function lookupchar tchar
--get offset (tchar,field "input")
-- if it = 0 then return tchar else \
--return char it of field "Output"
-- this line does not make sense to me
return offset (tchar,field "input")
end lookupchar
