the mouseText and Unicode: a 3-char puzzle

[Slava Paperno]

Bernd,

Thanks for the good news, but it doesn't work for me. I must be doing something wrong. I am using the Russian text from Gogol that Tariel found. It is in the attached txt file, with the three problem chars. And I'm using the handler you posted on 6/16. It is in the other attached file. Do these work for you? Mind the field names, please.

   put 0 into tStartSel 
    
   repeat with i = tSelPos down to 1 
      put the htmlText of char i of field 1 into tHTML 
      if  (tHTML contains  "<p> <" or tHTML is "<p></p>" or tHTML contains ">,<") then 
         put i into tStartSel 
         exit repeat 
      end if 
   end repeat 
    
   put the number of chars of field 1 into tEndSel 
   repeat with i = tSelPos to the number of chars of field 1

         put i into tEndSel 
         exit repeat
