Finding specific text in dataGrid

[BIX]

I've searched the forums and couldn't find anything about this. Is there a way to search for text in datagrid as in basic list field (using find "something" in field "someField")?
Thanks....

You'll find useful infos on :

But you have to consider the issue :

-if the data are coming from a SQL DB... then it's easier to do the search through a SQL query

-or a more simple solution : put the content of the datagrid into a variable, and then use functions like Offset, WordOffset, ItemOffset on this variable.

Code: Select all

put the dgText of group "myDatagrid" into theData
put ItemOffset ("text i'm looking for", theData) into ab
if ab = 0 then
answer "Not found"
else
answer "Found"
end if

-third solution : put the content of the datagrid into a simple text field, and then use the command Find
