Hi Jeff,
I'm trying to write a script that will allow me to search a Scrolling
field from a user inputed field.
Here's what I have:
1. The Scrolling field is populated by a database. It's name is
ProcListField
2. I have a field that I am putting in a value.
3. I want to search the ProcListField and highlight the "line" that
contains the word I'm searching with.
I've been trying the below script but it doesn't seem to find anything
in my ProcListField. I think what it's doing is looking for me to
match
the whole line and not an individual word within the line. Does
anyone
have any ideas on how I can accomplish this search?
put me into N
put fld ProcListField into tData
put empty into tSummary
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines of tData
if line x of tData = N then put x & "," after tSummary
end repeat
delete last char of tSummary
My end plans were to take tSummary and grab the row ID from it and
hilite the row within ProcListField. I may be going about this
completely wrong so any input would be helpful.
You can make this script a lot faster by using "repeat for each..."
Try this:
...
put me into N
put fld ProcListField into tData
put empty into tSummary
put 1 into tCounter
## see below...
repeat for each line L in tData
if L contains N then
## string N has been "found" in string L :-)
put tCounter & "," after tSummary
end if
add 1 to tCounter
## ***
end repeat
delete last char of tSummary
...
*** since "repeat for each..." is "read only" we have to count up
manually!
