get the foundChunk
:-)
Well, thanks, you did try to help, and sent a smiley too.
I knew that. Typing "put the foundchunk" into the single-line message
box would be nearly pointless, except maybe under unusual
circumstances.
I meant, "Is there any way to write a script that will put the
foundchunk into a container when I use "find" in the single-line
message box?"
Now that you've put me on the right track with the "find" command,
the question is less important, though I'd still be interested to
know.
You can also get the foundText, foundField, foundLine, and foundLoc.
2--If I use the find command in a script, is there any way to script
the equivalent of hitting the return key (like when I click on a
button), so as to find the next item, as I would do if I were using
"find" in the single-line message box? How?
Just continue to execute "find" - it will pick up from the last boxed
selection.
You're right.
I tried that already, of course. A scripting error led me to the
erroneous conclusion that the find command doesn't work that way.
That's why I inquired.
Look in the Dictionary under "find" and all your questions will
be answered.
That is not exactly helpful advice. I am not happy with the
implication that I use this group as a substitute for the
documentation. The following smiley didn't soften your remark
effectively.
I always study the documentation before inquiring on the group.
Unfortunately, the dictionary is not exactly user friendly, and I
don't always understand the documentation. I have a doctoral degree
and I'm a reasonably seasoned amateur hyperCard scripter. If I don't
always understand the documentation, it couldn't be ALL my fault.
We've been over that topic several times lately.
Take a look at the subject line. If you don't like dumb noob
questions, don't answer them. If everyone stops answering mine, I
will start paying Jacque for her time whenever I get stuck.
Have a nice day anyway. You probably didn't mean it quite the way it sounded.
Tim
