Something like charIndex, but in a variable...

Hi all,
thanks for the replies so far.
The problem with both matchChunk and offset are, that they will return the first occurance of the literal. So in a text like this:
orange banana tomato
banana tomato orange
tomato banana orange
on mouseUp
local temp,tChar
put fld 1 into temp
put offset(char 1 of word 2 of line 3 of temp,temp) into tChar
set the backcolor of char tChar of fld 1 to "red"
end mouseUp
Will hilite the first b instead of the one on line 3.
@Mark: charIndex does not appear to be working on the templateField. And of course it is slower in 7… :-(
All the best,
Malte
