Use [[abs]] with <tt>length</tt> or [[count]] with <tt>selectedText</tt> if string length is required. <tt>start</tt> always indicates at what position in text selection is started. The cursor position will always be at the end of the selection. So if selection is made from right to left the cursor position will be at the left end of the selection. In order to find cursor position add <tt>start</tt> and <tt>length</tt> together (see example 3)}} | |||
