Would the workaround be something like: on mouseup put the number of words of char 1 to word 4 of the clickchunk of me into fld 2 end mouseup Craig -----Original Message----- From: Richmond <richmondmathew...@gmail.com> To: use >> How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Sun, Jan 4, 2015 12:46 pm Subject: clickWord? Humpf . . . There I with a locked scrolling list field and I want to click on the word "glaikit" in line 3, and if I use 'clickText' I get the whole sentence "He's a muckle glaikit gowk", and if I use 'clickChunk' I get this 'char 24 to 49 of field 1' which is no good either. Now, if Livecode had 'clickWord' I would be able to get "glaikit" 'just like that'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am well aware of this: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/livecode/tips/mous003.htm which does provide some sort of a work-around, but does have this rider: " if there is any trailing punctuation, this is returned as well" mind you, there are some of us who are getting a peerie bit tired of endless work-arounds.
