Thank you for your kind reply, Ken. I understand you didn't mean it
as I heard it. It's a constant danger with email, especially on lists
and newsgroups.
I admit I was defensive. It still seems like I am the only amateur
do-it-yourself end user on the list. It's easy to be defensive, in
that position, though that's no excuse. I also admit I'm prone to
absent minded scripting errors. I still wonder if Dreamcard is
intended for people like me, and, if it is, if the intention is
realistic.
Regarding the single-line message box command, I was trying to
enhance the "find" script that Sarah generously posted for my
benefit. It uses the single-line message box.
Thanks to your helpful comments, I think I can now write a simple
utility stack -- possibly modal -- that offers the user, i.e., me, a
variety of easy-to-use and fast "find" options for stack underneath
it in the stacks. The native command-F find and replace feature is
way too slow for some of my larger stacks with many fields per card.
Best regards,
Tim

Hi,

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.
Sorry, I misread what you were trying to do (I thought you were trying to do
this in a script). Actually you can probably get what you want by executing
multiple statements in the message box, separated by a semicolon like:
find "Hello" in field 1;put the foundChunk
and then you should see what the foundChunk returned.
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.
That wasn't the implication, Tim, and I'm sorry if you took it that way. It
was just that I found myself starting to type the documentation to the find
command in my email response, and thought it would be easier to just point
to it.
Take a look at the subject line. If you don't like dumb noob
questions, don't answer them.
Whoa! Tim, if you've been watching my posts, you'll see that I have
*absolutely no problem* answering noob questions; in fact, I try to help out
wherever I can for *anyone* who has questions related to Transcript or Rev.
Have a nice day anyway. You probably didn't mean it quite the way
it sounded.
I'm sorry you took my response as being flip or offensive in any way - it
wasn't my intention. I know the docs are sometime difficult to work with or
find things (believe me, I still have trouble finding stuff), so my
assumption was not that you hadn't checked the docs, but that you *had*
checked it and not found what you were looking for.
Regardless, I'll re-read my posts in the future and make sure I've really
responded to the actual question posted.
