If we make a text selection and store it as a selectedChunk string
e.g
gCurrentSelection
which them would have say... a value of
char 669 to 1094 of field 6
How to I re-select that text?
global gCurrentSelection
on mouseUp
set the backgroundcolor of gCurrentSelection to yellow
end mouseUp
works'
but
global gCurrentSelection
on mouseUp
selectgCurrentSelection
end mouseUp
does not... an i can't find a way to re-set the selection ....
I like to avoid "do" because that requires an on-the-fly compilation, so
I generally use this:
set the backgroundcolor of char (word 2 of gCurrentSelection) to (word 4
of gCurrentSelection) of fld "somefield" to "yellow"
Or if the field will vary:
set the backgroundcolor of char (word 2 of gCurrentSelection) to (word 4
of gCurrentSelection) of fld (last word of gCurrentSelection) to "yellow"
