This should be done with the wordoffset function, using the "words to
skip" to advantage.
But this more readable. I had a field "source" with some text, and a fld
"theResults". In a button script:
on mouseUp
put "" into fld "theResults"
put fld "source" into temp
repeat while the number of words of temp <> 0
get random(8)
put word 1 to it of temp & return after fld "theResults"
delete word 1 to it of temp
end repeat
end mouseup
Straigthtforward. But try it with the wordOffset function, keeping track of
where you are and updating the "words to skip". You can play around with
your field making gadgetry; change the repeat loop by adding a counter so that
a new field is created each pass. Put the data into those new fields
instead of appending to the "theResults" field.
