Something like charIndex, but in a variable...

[dunbarx at aol.com]

How about this, assuming the chunk you want is the second word:



on mouseUp
   put fld 1 into temp
   answer offset(char 1 of word 2 of temp,temp) 
   answer offset(char (the number of chars of word 2 of temp) of word 2 of temp,temp)
end mouseUp

Hi Malte,

If using a field is the only solution, try the
templateField.

to find the start and end character of chuncks in a variable. If we are in a
field we can use charIndex for that. However, in a variable I have no good idea
on how to do something similar to
