Oh dear - replying to myself again :-)
The 'itemDel' method still does the long search through the text - even
though it does it at engine speed, and in neat tidy looking script.
But, re-reading your earlier description, it occurred to me that (maybe)
you are doing lots of different processin
OK, I may be going in the wrong direction here, but

set the itemDelimeter to temp
put the number of chars in item 1 to -2 of theWholeText into theAnswer

Fun, fun…
So if you collect ALL the opening and closing strings, and hopefully these
never overlap, then each pair can be “ordered”. Now identifying each is just a
matter of thinking in terms of “pairs” of offsets. You can then identify each
by their “paired” position in the forward direction.
An example of when a backwards search would be useful is the following:
In the app, you have to find command environments. Environments are delimited
by an opening string and a closing string.
Usually, I search forward for the opening string, then search for the closing
string afterwards. Once

I am sure you know what you have and what you need.
But just for my curiosity, if I had to do what you want, I would have used the
“offset” function and its “charsToSkip” parameter to find all instances of the
text to find, and then use those values in sequence to work backwards. But
The text source is not very big.
However I implement transcoding from one language to another and I do an VERY
large amount of search and replace.
I think I have quite optimized my LC code but transcoding can take 5 minutes to
do, and I need the whole process to chase unexpected bugs. This is u

Who wouldn’t?
But unless you are working with VERY large datasets, I bet a handler would

Remember to unload after load and parsing (if you use load).

If that doesn't help enough, look at the httpHeaders property. Use the Range

Hi Matthias,
I don't know about the iOS browser control (I'd think it is possible), but in

is initial-scale. You can set this to a larger scale, e.g. 2.0. Zooming by hand

Hi Todd,
Are you on a Mac? What you are trying to do won't work without lots of editing
in the front scripts of the IDE. If I remember correctly, the reason is that
the gRevStackStatus will contain true as soon as a field gets focus and the
closeStackRequest handler in the frontscript will make
suspendStack serves a different purpose but the save dialog will pop
even if you save the stack in the script of any handler... If you
want to avoid that, set the stack mode to modeless in the
preopenstack handler.

One method is to use the message path,
but the more direct way is to use the long ID of the field

and the main stack long id

One way is to get and set the dialogData. This is a global property available
to all stacks. It works like any property.
set the dialogData to "This is my answer." -- in the substack
get the dialogData -- in the mainstack
answer it with "Oh I see!"
