Say I have a line of text "my name is jizzy how are u"
The 13 character is z and is in the 4th token using chr 32.
How can i dynamically find out which token the 13th character is in?
If only women came with popup menus and online help.

I'm assuming you're trying to do an "on tabcomp" script? There's an easy way to do it with on tabcomp. on *:TABCOMP:*:{
var %a = $active , %pos = $editbox(%a).selend - 1 , %z = $left($1-,%pos)
var %word = $gettok(%z,$gettok(%z,0,32),32)
echo -ag %word
}Just an example. Doesn't contain any error checking. Otherwise, alias tehword {
if ($0 > 2) {
var %letter = $1 , %num = $2 , %text = $3-
var %pos = $pos(%text,%letter,%num)
var %word = $gettok($left(%text,%pos),0,32)
var %word = $gettok(%text,%word,32)
$iif($isid,return,echo -ag) %word
}
}/tehword <letter> <number> <text> /tehword o 1 This is just an example. So you can see how this works. Returns: "So" Changing 1 to 2 returns: you Changing 2 to 3 returns: how Changing 3 to 4 returns: works.

Just to let you know, you can use $gettok(%z,-1,32) instead of $gettok(%z,$gettok(%z,0,32),32)

Uh, unfortunately that doesn't really apply here, unless I'm missing something? -1 would be assuming that we know the entirety of the last word. He wants to grab a letter, and find the word it belongs to, meaning it could be in the middle of the sentence, and in the middle of a word. The $gettok($left(%text,%pos),0,32) is necessary to do this. As we need to find out how many tokens are between the beginning, and the specified letter position. So we set it to it to a var, and then use it on the entire %text, to get the full word. You tired hixxy?

I think you misunderstood me :tongue: To demonstrate what I mean, type the following: //var %z = hello world blah blah x | echo -a $gettok(%z,-1,32) ~ $gettok(%z,$gettok(%z,0,32),32) You could also apply this to the two %word variables you're using: alias t {
var %text = a b c d, %pos = 3
var %word = $gettok($left(%text,%pos),-1,32)
echo -a %word
}/t

No, I know how it works.  Here, to better demonstrate it with YOUR code, modified to show part of a word. This gets the position of "b" alias xt {
var %text = aaa bbb ccc ddd, %pos = 5
var %word = $gettok($left(%text,%pos),-1,32)
echo -a %word
}/xt That returns just "b" You must be tired. :P But yes, I already know about -1.

Oh yes, I see what you're doing now with the %text/%word vars, but I'm right about %z. $gettok(%z,$gettok(%z,0,32),32) = $gettok(%z,$numtok(%z,32),32) = $gettok(%z,-1,32)

Haha, yes. That works fine to get the last word in a %var. That's why I was saying -1 doesn't really help here. I've used it a few times before, though, since I usually don't need to get just the last word it's not something I use very often. I knew what you meant.
Though, I could have used $numtok() in there instead. Almost 7am, I'm tired too.

Ahh, I was close except I was just using gettok on the line that had been cut, rather than using it to find the token number. Silly me. Thanx for the fast replies guys, cheers :P
