Hi Charles,
I think the script you need looks like the following:
constant dot = "."
function lineNumbering theLines
put 0 into myCounter
repeat for each line myLine in theLines
if "CHC" is word 1 of myLine then
put 0 into myCounter
put myLine & cr after myNewLines
else
add 1 to myCounter
put myCounter & dot && myLine after myNewLines
end if
end repeat
return char 1 to -2 of myNewLines
end lineNumbering

I have a scrolling field that contains a number of lines. Some of the lines begin
with “CHC". I have been trying to number only the lines between lines that
contain “CHC” and then starts numbering again between the next pair of lines
containing “CHC”
For example,
CHC
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
CHC
1.
2.
3.
CHC
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
I have tried different variations with the following script and achieved
numbering sequentially between CHC lines but the numbering does not start over
after each line CHC line.
repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in field “recommendations"
if "CHC" is not among the words of line i in field "recommendations"
then
put i &"."& space before line i of field "recommendations"
end if
end repeat
Any suggestions?
