Wouldn't it be simple to set the itemDel to tab put item 1 of line x of fld y into tDate
Granted, slightly more work, but since itemDel changes are limited to only the local handler, it's not too big a deal, is it? Or am I missing something else? Re: the change to "word" - I'd love for it to function seamlessly with unicode and actually work properly according to what "normal" people's idea of a word is. Isn't that the reason we use livecode? Regarding using another term for the previous behaviour - legacyWord or revWord seem reasonable. Some scripts will need changed, but such are the side-effects of progress… cheers Alan On 13/03/2014, at 12:00 PM, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > 3/13/14 <tab> text <tab> more text > > and without even thinking about it, I grab the date: > > put word 1 of line x of fld y into tDate > > And then I stop short and think about what I'd need to do if "word" > wasn't a word any more. <Sob.> > > This is going to take some getting used to.

Changing "word" is going to be a huge hit for a while. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
