I put a lot of text matter, mostly ebooks repurposed from print versions, into Rev for fast searching. Break out entire chapters or part of chapters or numbered paragraphs to single cards and make a Table of Contents of these etc.
For searching I use a Find and Find Again pulldown menu (see scripts below)
Aside from the nuisance that the cmd-keys (Mac OSX) don't work in the IDE, even if you suspend it... another problem shows up even in a standalone: that is, that if you hit cmd-F, search for "task force" my script does take me to the card and scrolls the card, but does not hilight the word... I have to hit cmd-G again, to get it to hilight the word again, the first instance on the card, as expected. Then, if I hit cmd-G again, it moves on to another card with an instance of "task force" but does not hilight the word. You have to hit cmd-G again.
This may be a correlary bug to the one where pasting into a text field leaves you with no cursor, -- very disconcerting. The issue "smells" similar, the field is not being updated in the video card to show
a) the foundText box around text or
b) the cursor
any insights? I supposed i can use complicated offset search routine and force the text to be highlighted once the exact chunk is determined,, but I was thinking there might be a simple solution to make the engine's native "find" command to perform as expected.
Button Name : "Find"
contents
Find/F Find Again/G
Script:
on menupick tItemChosen
switch tItemChosen
case "Find"
searchForIt
break
case "Find Again"
doFind
break
end switch
end menupickIn the stack script:
global gLastFind
on searchForIt
lock messages
## lock messages required if you want to be able to search forward to the next instance
## but, maybe it is the problem also... not allowing the find to outline the find text.
ask "Find:" with gLastFind if it is empty then exit searchForIt put it into gLastFind doFind end searchForIt
on searchAgain doFind end searchAgain
on DoFind
lock messages
find string gLastFind
if the result is "Not Found" then
answer quote&gLastFind"e&" not found." with "Try Again" or "Cancel"
if it is "cancel" then exit doFind
searchForIt
end if
end DoFind
