| Thanks for answering Shane.
I'm in deep water, and rapidly drowning with this.
I tried your suggestion re integer, and corrected my typo, but still no success.
set textStorage to textView's textStorage() -- append new text set newTextLength to textStorage's |length|() as integer say 6 set tempString to linefeed set theRange to textStorage's replaceOccurrencesOfString_withString_options_range_(linefeed,linefeed,0,{0 ,newTextLength-1 }) as integer #backwardsSearch say 7 say theRange I'd like to use the BackwardsSearch, but I'm unsure of the way it should be used. I found someone using 0 on the net, but don't know if it's correct or not!
Any further advice much appreciated.
Regards
Santa

to try and get the count of linefeeds, but it doesn't work. Any ideas please anyone?
textStorage and textstorage are two different things, although the error may disappear as it gets compiled -- it's hard to know. This is another reason why you should edit your AS code in an external editor rather than directly in Xcode. You probably also need to add "as integer" to coerce the result from an NSNumber to an integer. (And that's not a backwards search, not that it matters.) -- Shane Stanley < email@hidden> 'AppleScriptObjC Explored' < www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/> |
