if you
lock screen
put the sort id of this card into baseCd
push card
-- find
if the short id of this card is baseCd then exit to top
else
answer 'the hit is not on the card you started on'
pop card
end if
--the unlock screen will happen at the exit of the handler automatically
---
and this can get you close to your goal. You may have to deal with
user interface issues when their are multiple hits on one card and in
multiple fields. The surround rectangle may be difficult to manage,
so you may have to find a way to select the hit string with code vs
native Find command
Hope this helps

I have a field with the script:
on mouseUP
put the value of the clickline into tText
set itemdel to tab
put item 1 of tText into tText
find string tText in field "thetext"
end mouseUP
When I click on a line in the field RR finds the string in the field
"theText" and a second click on the same line finds the next
instance of the string in the same field.
But if, on subsequent clicks, it fails to find the string in the
field "theText" on the current card, it goes looking for the string
on any other card with a field named "theText"
Is there a way to do something like:
find string tText in field "theText" ON THIS CARD
So that it will not jump to other cards containing a field of the
same name and the same text. (Without having to go through the stack
and rename fields so that there are no duplicates?)
In short, restrict the search to the current card.
