Roger, I don’t believe that setting the itemDel will change how WORDs break. It will allow you to find ITEM 2:
^1/x) I was getting char 3 of item 2 and that would work as long as x was a single digit (which you implied originally) but Bernd’s solution is more robust (as usual!) because it will find an x that contains 1 or more digits. That is a better solution than using “char” > On Dec 18, 2024, at 12:59 AM, Niggemann, Bernd via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Hi Roger, > > This does work: > > Please note the quotes, in your mail it was curly quotes that do not work > apart from asking for "word" instead of "token". > > on mouseUp > set the itemDel to "^" > put token 3 of item 2 of "((1234…)^1/x)" into field 1 > > set the itemDelimiter to "/" > put cr & token 1 of item 2 of "((1234…)^1/15)" after field 1 > end mouseUp > > Kind regards > Bernd > >> Roger wrote: > >> Oops.
