Hi, Thanks to all of you for your answers to my message.
I apologize for the name of the topic; a more classical term in the forum gave rather poor results. https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33761 I’ve been following this list for over ten years and have learned a lot here; and I also know you are all very responsive. This is why I was surprised to get no answer after my first post. Special thanks to Mark Wieder and Mark Waddingham for their lines of code. It helps me a lot!
