Hi,

This is related to Terry's posting earlier regarding the 'word processor' function...

I am trying to have an expression determine if a return character exists in the current character being displayed.. If so, I would like it to stop outputting text for a moment, and allow the cursor to blink for a second, and then continue (hence Z).

This is what I have written so far, but I am having a problem with Slider.value, as depending on the length of sourceText, it could end up having 3 characters for every number... So i am just curious how I would solve this mathmatical issue...

var y;
var z;
if (z==null)
     {z=0};
if (y!=null)
     {z++; y;}
   else
    {
     x=text.sourceText.charCodeAt(Slider.value);
     if (x==13)
          {y=Slider.value;}
       else
          {linear(value, key(1).value, (key(2).value)+z, key(1).value, (text.sourceText.length-2))+z;}
    }

Thank you.
