Programming multi line selections

[Rob Beynon]

Colleagues,

I have a small problem that is driving me nuts..

I have a series of lines in a field, and I want to program the
selection of those lines according to the last character of the
line...I wrote a button script thus...

on mouseUp
  select empty
  put 0 into LineNo
  repeat for each line peptide in card field "audit"
  add 1 to LineNo
  if char(length(peptide)-1) of peptide = "K" then select line LineNo of field "audit"
 end repeat
end mouseUp


I've also tried setting the selected of line lineNo to true
and setting the hilitedLine to lineNo

Am I missing the point here? (probably).

Also, how do I deselect all lines before I start (select empty doesn;t
seem to achieve this).

-- 
All best wishes,
Rob
