What is the script for selecting a specific word in a field?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Robert,

As usual, it is very interesting to think of "Is there such a script  
which do that in the IDE?"
Lights!
In any script window, the Find button does what I want ;-)

So, check the revFindNext function in the script of the single card  
of any script window which is called by the Find button and adapt it.
In order to open scripts in IDE windows, check the "Contextual menus  
work in Revolution windows" in the main pane of the Rev Prefs.
Then use a right click to display the contextual menu in any IDE window.
Exploring the IDE always gets you rich...

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
