A Bit Rusty - SetSelection Question

[revDAVE]

Hi Folks,

Using Pan 5.0

I'm a bit rusty on this and could use some help....

I have a field called 'TheText'

1st line is some title of varied length (maybe with a '.')
Second line = 
Text - then '.' then a few characters

My goal is to be able to update the few characters after the period on line
2 like:


This is the title.part
line2 info here.updatethis
Line 3 ...
Line 4 etc....

So line 2 can be like
line2 info here.updateNEWthis

'TheText' does happen to be a superobject

I'm fooling with :
search( TheText,".") - how do I make sure it finds the period one line 2 -
not line 1?

How do I make TheText be an open activesuperobject?

PROC-----

local start, end

How do I make 'end' be the return char in line 2?

if info("activesuperobject")‚""
activesuperobject "SetSelection", start,end
endif

Thanks in advance for your help...
