as in something like this...
put char 2 to (the number of chars of fld 1) of fld 1 into fld 2
Oddly enough THIS works:
put fld "INN" into $INN
delete char 1 of $INN
put $INN into fld "OWT"
BUT, BUT, BIG UNCOMFORTABLE BUT, this:
put fld "INN" into $INN
put fld "URTEXT" into $URTEXT
repeat until $URTEXT is empty
if $INN contains the first char of $URTEXT then
put the first char of $URTEXT after $OUTTEXT
delete the first char of $URTEXT
else
delete the first char of $URTEXT
end if
end repeat
put $OUTTEXT into fld "fOUTTEXT"
Maybe this is because one cannot use CONTAINS with a string variable,
Dunno.
Or, is this because this line:
repeat until $URTEXT is empty
is rather silly? I don't just suppose one can have a string that is empty.
If that be the problem [nice Subjunctive construction there, grammar
groupies], how is one to finish one's REPEAT loop?
I don't know if one could do this;
repeat if $URTEXT exists
sounds a bit odd.
