Here's what I've been using for years, same idea, but more general:
function howmany tg,ctr
if ctr = empty then return 0
repeat for each item i in "8,7,6,5,4"
put numtochar(i) into divChar
if divChar is not in ctr then exit repeat
if i = 4 then return "error in howmany()"
Probably something like this will do:
on mouseup
put word 2 of the clickline into lineNbr
select line lineNbr of me -- assumes autohilite = true
wait 8 ticks
select empty
end mouseup

Ah, another grammarhead! I love it! I've always found it interesting that the
obsessive focus on syntax and grammar needed by programmers/coders to use the
coding language well is rarely associated with equal attention to grammatical
English.

I picked this trick up from someone along the way, on this list I believe, I've
lost track of where it came from, so credit goes to someone else. You're right,
Joe, commenting something as opaque as this (at least at first glance) is
advisable, especially when you're sharing code. I can only ple

Well, there's something wrong with the K solution and the Paul solution.
Stepping through the script with the debugger, for the first line of tStore,
the difference between tEndTime and tStartTime = 7974 (I inserted a temp
variable tTemp = tEndTime - tStartTime so I could see what was going on).

Works except for values like 4.1.
Try this instead. It's a sort of a trick to avoid using a conditional
construction, though th

The second form is not a kosher LC statement.

A "pane in the OS"?
