Here is a regex solution. and as a bonus, in 3 variants:
on mouseUp -- button id 1003 of card id 1002 of stack "stack 2" -- of stack "/Users/t/Desktop/stack.livecode" put fld "L1" into aLongID put theStackOwner( aLongID) into field "L2" put theMainStackOwner( aLongID) into field "L3" put stackOwners( aLongID) into R if R is empty then put "not found" into fld "L4" else put item 1 of R &" --- "& item 2 of R into field "L4" end mouseUp function theStackOwner pLongID if matchText(pLongID, "of stack \x22(.*?)\x22", _1) then return _1 return "not found" end theStackOwner function theMainStackOwner pLongID if matchText(pLongID, "of stack \x22([^\x22]*)\x22$", _1) then return _1 return "not found" end theMainStackOwner function stackOwners pLongID local REX put "(?: of stack \x22([^\x22]*?)\x22)? of stack \x22([^\x22]*)\x22$" into REX if matchText(pLongID, REX, _1, _2) then return _1 &comma& _2 return empty end stackOwners Did a quick test, so it works here, plus I put the word "stack" in the stack names for a more severe test. As I hate to write "& quote &" in my code, \x22 is the ASCII value for the quote char. Not tested on LC 7 yet.
