There are better options:
if "007" is in fld "Agents" of cd "Espionage" then ...
which is better to read than the offset function... and you dont seem
to be interested in the exact location of the pattern.
Even would be
if "007" is among the lines of fld "Agents" ...
Because those other options would also match agent "0007" or "0074".
If you want the exact line number, try
get lineOffset("007",fld "Agents" of cd "Espionage")
But remember to set the wholeMatches to true, or you'll have the same
problems as with the offset function.
