Find command

[trevix]

I'm trying to make a find command, as on OX applications, using the "find [form] textToFind [in field]" on a specific fld so that, if I look for "uno due":
- will find " other uno other due other" (on the same line)
- will not find "other uno other" (on the same line)
- will not find "other due other" (on the same line)

I tried any possible combination (string, words, chars,etc..) but I cannot find exact words with spaces or other stuff in between...

Should I build a script with recursive wordoffset and lineOffset or is there a built in way ?

Thanks

Buongiorno Trevix,

to find the EXACT 2 words "uno due" in your field(s) you should do this:

Code: Select all

...
find WHOLE "uno due" in fld XYZ
...

Tested and works here

It is not what i was looking for...
I want to find "uno"..somethingelse.."due" on the same line.

Of course I could do:

Code: Select all

local LineaStart,CRicerca,AlmenoUno
on returnInField
  if fld "CampoRicerca" is not empty then
    put 1 into Lineatrovata
    if LineaStart is empty or fld "CampoRicerca" <> CRicerca then 
      put 0 into LineaStart
      put empty into AlmenoUno
      put fld "CampoRicerca" into CRicerca
    end if
    repeat until Lineatrovata = 0
      put lineoffset(word 1 of CRicerca,field "serverstatus",LineaStart) into Lineatrovata
      if Lineatrovata = 0 and LineaStart > 0 and AlmenoUno is true then
        put 1 into Lineatrovata
        put 0 into LineaStart
        next repeat
      else
        if Lineatrovata = 0 then exit repeat
      end if
      put LineaStart + Lineatrovata into Lineatrovata
      repeat for each word LaParola in CRicerca 
        if LaParola is in line Lineatrovata of fld "serverstatus" then
          put "true" into trovata
        else
          put false into trovata
          exit repeat
        end if
      end repeat
      put Lineatrovata into LineaStart
      if trovata is true then
        exit repeat
      end if
    end repeat
    if trovata is true then
      --select line Lineatrovata of field "serverstatus"
      set the hilitedline of field "serverstatus" to Lineatrovata
      select after last word of fld "CampoRicerca"
      Put true into AlmenoUno
    else
      beep
    end if
  end if
end returnInField

This works in a Mac OSX like manner, but i tough I could use just the find command...

Hi trevix,

scusi signore, looks like I misunderstood your question complettamente!

Well in that case I am afraid you will have to use some nifty REGEX/Matchtext etc. routines, but unfortunately that is still "terra incognita" for me
