Description | Use the lineDelimiter property to divide text into chunks based on a delimiting character. From LiveCode 7.0, lineDelimiter can be a string of one or several characters. Chunk expressions use the lineDelimiter to determine where one line ends and the next begins. Since the lineDelimiter is a local property, its value is reset to return when the current handler finishes executing. It retains its value only for the current handler, and setting it in one handler does not affect its value in other handlers it calls. | ||||||
