I built a label with multiple lines, put "1 2 3/n2 3 4/n3 4 5" into it
and ran this line of code on it:
add 1 to word 2 of line 2 of field "field"
It worked just as you'd expect it to.
However, this seems a very slow way to do it.
Hashes work a treat for this kind of thing.
on mouseUp
-- keep track of how many times each word is used.
repeat for each word tWord in field "txt"
add 1 to tHash[tWord]
end repeat
-- print overview
put the number of lines in field "txt" into field "numlines"
put the number of words in field "txt" into field "numwords"
put the number of lines in the keys of tHash into field "numuniq"
-- print details
repeat for each line tLine in the keys of tHash
put tLine&" "&tHash[tLine]&CR after field "result"
end repeat
end mouseUp
Simpler, and I'd wager significantly faster.

Hi folks,
I'm working on a simple script to identify and count the unique words dumped
into a 'Source' field to create a 'Results' list field with the word and
counter.
However, this script is throwing errors at the line when I attempt to increment
the second word by adding 1 to it. What's wrong with the syntax for
incrementing the counter chunk?
on mouseUp
put empty into field "Results"
repeat for each word tWord in field "Source"
if field "Results" is empty then put tWord & tab & 1 after field
"Results"
if tWord is among the words of field "Results" then
repeat for each line tLine in field "Results"
if word 1 of tLine <> tWord
then exit repeat
else add 1 to word 2 of line tLine in field "Results"
end repeat
else put tWord & cr after field "Results"
end repeat
end mouseUp
Best,
Keith..
