Hi Sorry, I ment the number of words. Since numtochar has been depreciated with version 7.0, the closest would be now numtonativechar. However with numtonativechar () for the words boundaries the following chars number “09,10,11,12,13,32,202” are used.
Therefore a feature has been depreciated with introduction of version 7.0, it is a long time ago. Originally it was not so, eg. (“numtochar(32)&numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) was a word, which was not visible on the screen, but visible for the script. Now it makes very little sense to use the special char 202 instead of numtochar(32). Sincerely, Jean-Jacques Wagner. > Hypercard and livecode 6.7: the number of chars (numtochar(32)& > Hypercard and livecode 6.7: the number of chars (numtochar(32)& > Hypercard and livecode 6.7: the number of chars (numtochar(32)& > numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 2 > Hypercard and livecode 6.7: the number of chars (numtochar(32)& > numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 2 > livecode 9.67 : the number of chars (numtonativer(32)& > numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 0 > Version 6.7 word boudary are char number 09,10,11,12,13,32 > version 9.67 word boudary are char number 09,10,11,12,13,32,202 > Am 04.06.2022 um 18:00 schrieb use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com: > > Jean-Jacques > > In 9.6.8 > > the number of chars of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& > numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 5 > > As it should be. > > Did you mean the number of words? > > But then > > the number of words of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& > numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 0 (in 9.6.8) > > As it should be. > > Char 202 is unicode for an invisible char marking a paragraph end I believe, > I think rarely used until recently.
