Hi Charles,
What does "without any success" mean exactly" Do you get wrong results?
No result at all? Do you get any error messages?
I have made a very tiny change to the script by adding a cr after
myNewLines every time a line is added:
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 & cr after myNewLines
end if
end repeat
return char 1 to -2 of myNewLines
end lineNumbering
I put this function at card or stack level and create a new field with
some data like
chc
sdfdf
dsfdsf
dfds
chc
sdfdsfds
fdsfds
fdsfdsf
dsfds
chc
sfdsf
dsfdsf
dsfdsf
dsfdsf
dsfdsf
ds
chc
I type
put lineNumbering(fld 1)
in the message box and get the following result:
chc
1. sdfdf
2. dsfdsf
3. dfds
chc
1. sdfdsfds
2. fdsfds
3. fdsfdsf
4. dsfds
chc
1. sfdsf
2. dsfdsf
3. dsfdsf
4. dsfdsf
5. dsfdsf
6. ds
chc
Isn't that what you want?

Mark,
I greatly appreciate your script suggestion!! However, I spent several hours
trying to implement your function without any success. The lines I want to
number are in the scrolling field “recommendations”. Can you provide me with
more information on how to implement this script?
