I probably don't understand the scope of the problem, but barring the use
of wordOffset (am guessing some of your strings are multiple words),
perhaps you could use htmlText with custom tags, i.e. <datecode>Sept 10,
2015</datecode> and render the text as htmlText. In theory, the tags
won't be shown to the user, but will be present in the htmlText.
Custom HtmlText tags are lost once the htmlText is set, but you can
store arbitrary hidden text in a field using the span tag with a
metadata attribute:
<p>Hello <span metadata="hidden text">World</span></p>
See p11 of the v5.5.4 Release Notes for useful info on that and other
supported htmlText tags:
<http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/5_5_4/LiveCodeNotes-5_5_4.pdf>
The Dictionary entry for the htmlText property has been updated for most
tags added in v5.5.4, but not span - reported:
