Aha! The idea of using "the number of words" is brilliant.
Unfortunately, the word boundaries don't "quite" work, and I think it's for
the same reason: I think the mouseCharChunk reports bytes, not characters.
It is Unicode-smart in some ways: when you click a non-Roman letter, it
returns "char N to N+1 of field X." When you click a Roman letter in a
double-byte field it returns "char N to N of field X."
I think you may be right about double-byte stuff; or that Livecode looks
for things encoded in the ASCII set, and treats everything "else" as space.
However (not having any Russian I have used Bulgarian) I set up a stack
just now with
2 flds: "fSTART" and "fEND" and typed 'Всичко е глупости или лайно.'
into fld "fSTART"
I then typed this into a button:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "fEND" to the unicodeText of word 3 of fld
"fSTART"
end mouseUp
and ended up with 'глупости' in fld "fEND".
Try it . . . :)
Love, Richmond.
