In the OpusScript Help I found the following description about how to use the GetSelection function:

------------------------------------
GetSelection()

For a Text object named myText containing the value Mr James Smith, use the following syntax:

var selectedArea = myText.GetSelection()

------------------------------------

I have to admit that I do not really understand what this means. Where can I tell the function which string I want to search for?

And a second question: Can I use GetSelection only with text objects or with string variables too?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

GetSelection() does not perform a search - it returns an object with the start and end indexes of the current selection.


GetSelection applies only to graphical text objects. To manipulate strings use the string functions - these are documented in the Strings and Global String sections of the help.

Duncan,

thanks a lot for your advice!
