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.
If the data will have only a single matching line, then:
put me into N
put fld "ProcListField" into tData
set wholematches to true
put line lineoffset(N,tData) of tData & cr after fld "summary"
If I understand what you want to do, this should accomplish the same
thing without using a repeat loop.
If the goal is not necessarily to put data in the summary field, but
rather just to hilite a line in the ProcListField field, then replace
the last line above with:
select line lineoffset(N,tData) of fld "procListField"
If the lineoffset is 0, then no lines will hilite, which is usually the
correct behavior.
If your data may have more than one line that will match and you want to
find them all, then you do need a repeat loop. You can repeat the
lineoffset search and add a "skip" parameter -- see the docs for examples.
