Hi All...
I'm trying to divide a paragraph into random chunks, but I'm not quite
sure how to do it.
Here's what I'm thinking:
put the text of cd fld "paragraphContainer" into tParagraph
put the number of words in tParagraph into tWordCount
put random(10) into tRandomGroup --determineshow many words per
chunk
put tWordCount/tRandomGroup into tNumberOfWordsInChunk --I know I
could have a decimal, but I'll deal with that later...
put 0 into x
repeat until number of words in cd fld "paragraphContainer" = 0 --
Not sure this is possible?
create field
set the loc of last fld to (x+5,150) -- stepping the location
of each new field over 5 pixels
select first tRandomGroup words of cd fld "paragraphContainer"
-- planning to cut selected words from field and just repeat until all
words are cut from field
cut selectedText
paste into last cd fld
add 5 to x
end repeat
Would it be better to put all the chunks in an array first, and then
pull them out of the array in chunks?
Ultimately just trying to get a group of new fields consisting of
chunks of text from the main paragraph.
Thank you!
