I want to make a program that will translate a whole sentences (but one word at a time) to another language. In order to do this I would need some kind of special condition for an Edit Object, getting one word at a time and then converting to another language and adding it to the second Edit Object. Is there any way of doing this? n/a

That is to say yes, it's possible, you just have to loop and look for spaces, but you really wouldn't want to do it in a klik product. They aren't friendly to string manipulation. Anyway, what are you going to do about syntax in different languages? Unless of course you're using an imaginary language... Anyway, if I were doing it, I'd write something simple in BASIC and use the MMF BASIC extension, rather than sweating over it in klik. The problem you have is storing the words for conversion, although you could equate them manually in an INI, I suppose. n/a

I'm pretty sure the String Parser object (from 3EE) can get words seperated by tokens (i.e. a space, newline, etc), you might like to try that. It's downloadable from their website, or from the Clickteam website. Mike ¿ "Now I guess we're... 'Path-E-Tech Management'" -Dilbert

Weston L Registered 16/12/2002 Points 1603	11th November, 2003 at 01:07:48 - Ok, the structure of the language wont really matter, I'm not that picky about it, but your right, that would be a problem. I will look into the String Parser object. Thanks. n/a

Go to tig's website and look on his example of string parsing, also look for his example on script making. Those both use string parsing and they can recognize letters/words. -Andy Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy
