Peter, in the specific case here, you could do this
find "4" & tab

Feels like a very silly question, but it is stumping me.
How do I use 'find' to find '4' when it occurs by itself but not 4
when it
occurs in '4.1', when searching the contents of a field?
I have a field with tab separated values in the form
1 1234
2 2.56
3 4.1
4 9.274
and I want to find only that line in which there is a match of the
inputted
string with the first item. The first item will always be a unique
value.
So I want in some way to do a find on 4 that will pick up only line
4, and
not the occurrence of 4 in line 3.
Find word doesn't seem to work, because presumably Rev sees the '.'
as a word
limiter. Whereas in fact, its a decimal.... Find string in item 1
doesn't
work either. In fact, none of the parameters on find seem to work.
The only thing that has occurred to me is a real kludge - just
stick some
character like # in front of or after the numbers in the first
position, and
then search for #4, and hope that it never occurs to anyone to put
this
character into the second field! But there must surely be a very
simple and
much better way?
