There is a bug in the Find & Replace when used on fields. Chipp has
posted a fix and you can find the details here:
<http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2005-February/050697.html>
It really doesn't take long and normally the Find button becomes a
Stop button when searching, but I think in this case, it doesn't
even start searching.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks to you and others on this thread.
Do you mean to say that if I click on the "find" button again, it
halts the search? I just tried that. I'm on v 2.5.1 of Dreamcard. It
doesn't seem to work that way. As a matter of fact, it appears that
if I click on the "find" button while the search is in process, it
causes "find and replace" to start a new search as soon as it
finishes the current one. The painfully long wait is doubled.
I don't think I understand the bug you mention. I.e., "...it doesn't
really even start searching." As I recall, though I haven't taken
notes, the thing does eventually find what it's supposed to find.
It's just painfully slow. Maybe it misses some stuff, though. I
wouldn't have noticed that.
I downloaded the patch. A big Thank You! to the author. It seems to
help. I tried the same search with the same checkboxes checked --
field text, name, and script. Find and replace is still pokey, but I
didn't have time to bake a batch of cookies.
In spite of the welcome patch, "find" in the message box searches all
the field text in the stack almost instantaneously. The "find" in the
find-and-replace window, searching for field text only, in "this
stack" only, takes 100 to 1000 times as long. That just don't seem
right.
It still seems to me that a "stop searching" button on this window
would be a welcome addition, unless it can be made to work so fast
that none would be necessary.
Is there something I'm not getting?
Best regards
Tim
