Hi Jay,

Add a profile using the 'user control panel' in the top right including your Opus Version. And also include what Publication Type you are building for in the post and then we'll know where to start.

Concordance of sentences is probably not going to be simple but the bases of what is needed is:

Code:

myString = "The cat sat on the mat. It's Christmas! The dog, in the house next door, slept on the rug. Who killed Kenny? The fish swam in the bowl."


myLength = myString.length;
myLines = new Array();
myIndexA = 0;
myIndexB = 1;
myLineNumber = 0;


while (myIndexA < myLength){
   if (myString.charAt(myIndexB) == "." || myString.charAt(myIndexB) == "?" || myString.charAt(myIndexB) == "!"){
   myLines[myLineNumber] = myString.substring(myIndexA,myIndexB+1);
   myIndexA = myIndexB+2;
   myLineNumber++;
   }
myIndexB++;
}


myRandomLine = myLines[String.random(myLines.length)]
Debug.trace(myRandomLine)
