[DIR MX] - list & text line ..

[greenshot]

i 'd create a list that count the number of lines in a textfield and keep
the result :
oldlist=[]

textlisted = string (member("texte a lire field").text)


linelist = the number of lines in textlisted

repeat with i= 1 to linelist

oldlist.add(i)

end repeat

put oldList



so it gives a series of num : [1, 2, 3, 4]



then i made a random function and create a newlist to keep results :

so for newlist it gives : [2, 1, 4, 3] -- or an other order

what i want now is changing the line order of my textfield to change the
text; but i m loosing with comparison versus list and line (num)...

any help to solve that please ?

If I'm reading you correctly, you want to change the order of the lines
of text in a text or field member based on a randomized number list. If
that's the case then how about something like this:

----------
on randomizeText theMemberName
tempString = member(theMemberName).text
thisLineCount = member(theMemberName).line.count
repeat while thisLineCount > 0
thisLine = random(thisLineCount)
tempString2 = tempString2 & tempString.line[thisLine] & RETURN
delete line thisLine of tempString
thisLineCount = thisLineCount - 1
end repeat
lastLine = tempString2.line.count
delete line lastLine of tempString2
put tempString2
-- or
-- member(theMemberName).text = tempString2
end

repeat while thisLineCount > 0
thisLine = random(thisLineCount)
tempString2 = tempString2 & tempString.line[thisLine] & RETURN
delete line thisLine of tempString
thisLineCount = thisLineCount - 1
end repeat
lastLine = tempString2.line.count
delete line lastLine of tempString2
put tempString2
-- or
-- member(theMemberName).text = tempString2
end

i m also wondering if there is a way to make comparison between the old
order -thisLineCount- and the new one
indeed i would like the user click on the melt line to put it on the right
place
something to deal with "true" or "false" but i don t know how to compare
that
if newline = old line then alert "ok"

.....

You will need to compare the string in line X of the original text to
the string in line X of tempString2. To accomplish that you would need
to make tempString2 a global variable so that you could access it from
another function.
