Text and Offset Peculiarities ???

Subject: Text and Offset Peculiarities ???
From: Michael D Mays <email@hidden>

I have this script

tell application "Safari"

set myText to the text of document 1

set myOffset to offset of " Departing 0" in myText

set myAscii to ASCII number (text (myOffset - 1) of myText)

set myOffset to offset of (ASCII character myAscii) & " Departing 0" in myText

end tell

The first offset command finds a match >1 but I run it the result (second offset command) is 0 ???

ASCII character myAscii is 63. When I look at myText in the replies pane of AppleScript Editor what I see is

/n Departing

If I say

set myOffset to offset of "/n Departing 0" in myText

the result is 0.

Any ideas as to what is happening or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Michael
