As an aside, here is how I implemented the kind of thing I was talking about:
-- convert the datagrid array to key text
put altPrintKeys(theDataA) into theText
-- filter the data
filter theText with tab & "*" & theValue & "*"
-- convert the text back to an array
put altKeysToArray(theText) into theDataA
The idea here is that the tab is the delimiter between the keys and the value.
Any tabs that were in the original data will have been converted to ascii(11)
by the altPrintKeys() function, so they will not come into play. The carriage
returns were converted to ascii(30) so that the filter command will not choke
on the multi-line values that might be returned.
