There a few ways of approaching your goal One - just before the find step, put the short id of this card into targetID lockscreen, push card, then do the find until the short id of the found card is not targetID, pop card. If you are using closecard and opencard handlers, you may also want to set lockmessages to true so those scripts do not get triggered. Two - get fld sharedGuy, then do offset(string, it) until you have found all matches in the 'it' container and made a list (I suppose) Three - create fld tempHolder, put fld sharedGuy into fld tempHolder, find loop, delete fld tempHolder --this way the only place text occurs is on this card.. temporarily Why do you need to use Find to locate the occurrences in a shared field?, as opposed to other locating techniques that don't navigate? Is this field a list, a single paragraph, or a whole bunch of text in paragraphs? If it is a list, I would suggest you use the filter command .. like so get fld sharedGuy filter it with "*"& findString &"*" --now you have all the lines that contain the findString somewhere --or all the paragraphs that contain the findString somewhere Hope this helps Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
