Hi Alex,
Yes that's that approach I was trying to make a relatively general version of
(see my response 16:50) to handle arbitrarily complex chunk expressions - but
it would still fail (in fact probably worse?) with chunk 1. But I think the
principle is right.

Not quite so straightforward, but you can do
function getCharIndexByLineToken pVar, pLine, pToken
local temp
put the number of chars in line 1 to (pLine-1) of pVar into temp
add 1 to temp -- for the CR between lines 14 and 15 !!
add the number of chars in token 1 to (pToken-1) of line 15 of pVar to temp
return temp
end getCharIndexByLineToken
Unfortunately you need different functions for token, word, etc. unless you
want to make it more complex and (probably) need to use "do" or "value"
Hmmm - and maybe you need to watch that "add 1" in the case of pLine being 1 !!
or beyond the end ?!?

Hi all,
I need to find the start and end character of chuncks in a variable. If we
are in a field we can use charIndex for that. However, in a variable I have
no good idea on how to do something similar to
get charIndex(token 7 of line 15 of field „myField“)
Any ideas?
All the best,
Malte
