text_ref

  using ref is really fast compared to doing string processing
ref text




  fast text handling
Terry Schussler says:

If we could get the selection property of a ref property, this would be
really fast:

textRef = member("text").word[4].ref
put textRef.selection[1] -- doesn't work currently

However, if you're planning on setting hyperlinks, you can in fact simply
use the ref property directly:

textRef = member("text").word[4].ref
textRef.hyperlink = "http://www.director7.com/"

This is really fast compared to doing string processing.
