Back in the day, HC listMembers had enormous patience with certain people. They were indulgent. Time will tell.
I have a variable "foo" (remember foo?) containing: aabb bbcc ccdd abc bcd and a script that has: filter foo with "a*b" answer foo I get empty in foo, when what I am looking for is a substitute for Rinaldi's "fullFind" Changing the wildcard characters changes nothing. OK, what am I doing wrong? On Dec 5, 2008, at 1:12:17 PM, "J. Landman Gay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: "J.

But when it is working properly you can click on the stack name, and select the stack you want it to target from a popup list.

All the other stuff we used to use externals for is now built into the engine. I really doubt you'll ever need to implement an external. The language has 3 or 4 times as many commands and functions as you-know-what. ;) FullFind can be replaced with the "filter" command, or by using any one of the various offset functions. If you choose to use offset, be sure to use the "skip" parameter or else you will be searching the same text repeatedly. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
