Sorry, I looked at the wrong part of your original message. As
mentioned, changing my example to "select" is easy. I needed to select
text the way I suggested back in LC

In LiveCode 6.7.5, I just created a test stack with the following: A
field with some text in it and
Jacque demonstrated a point, you don’t have to use the whole of
gCurrentSelection as part of the script in one go, you can extract the parts
you need to reconstruct the selection, it’s pretty easy to adapt the examples
she gave;
select char (word 2 of gCurrentSelection) to (word 4 of gCurrentS
But I want to re-select the text later,
not set the background color

global gCurrentSelection

Hi,
Perhaps there are more elegant ways, but a quick solution would be
do "select" && gCurrentSelection

If we make a text selection and store it as a selectedChunk string
e.g
gCurrentSelection
which them would have say... a value of
char 669 to 1094 of field 6
How to I re-select that text?
global gCurrentSelection
on mouseUp
set the backgroundcolor of gCurrentSelection to yellow
end mouseU
