Still jumping without thinking… If native char 202 or unicode char 202 is a word boundary in Windows it is a real bug — but is that the case? Native char 202, a non-breaking space, should (or maybe shouldn’t) be a word boundary in Mac - the docs say word boundaries are space, tab and return. W

Hmm. I jumped without thinking…I was thinking if unicode char 2029 which is the paragraph separator. Unicode Char 202 is supposed to be Latin Capital Letter E With Circumflex. But 202 is beyond the standard ascii range so the deprecated numtochar(202) will return an extended ascii character dep

I get a compile error when using your syntax. If I insert the word "of" after "chars" I get 5 for version 9.6.8 as you would expect. Do you have the *actual* syntax that is causing you the problem? . Bob S > On Jun 3, 2022, at 06:56 , Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi, >

Hi Look up numToChar in the dictionary. It's been deprecated since v7 0 because of unicode. This might explain things. Hope that helps Ian McKnight On Fri, 3 Jun 2022, 14:57 Jean-Jacques Wagner via use-livecode, < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi, > Version 6.7word boudary are ch
