RE: [Talk] Word Search

[Thompson, Mary]

Gabe Thank you Would I be able to Search for a specific word in line 1 and then compare line 2 and see if it finds the same word in that line. Below is a simple example using just regular sentences. My code is just a bunch or words on a Meditech screen and I will tell it what to look for. Thank you! Mary - Word to find is budget Line 1:  The hospital budget called for a 6% increase over three months. Line 2. The result of the 6% increase was a decrease in the budget deficit.   If line 2 has same word as line one then do following action, if not do this..   Mary Thompson Special Project Manager Children's Mercy Hospital (816) 234-3940     Electronic mail from Mary Thompson, The Children's Mercy Hospital.

Try something like this:   Line1$ = View(Row:=16, Col:=15, Length:=22) Line2$ = View(Row:=17, Col:=15, Length:=22)   ‘Looks for any occurrence of Line2 in Line1 and reports the starting location of string If InStr(Line1$, Line2$) Then     ‘Text Found Else     ‘Text Not Found   Of course the row, column, and length should match what you are looking for on the screen.  And don’t forget to Trim() your strings if you don’t want to look for leading and trailing spaces from the first line.   Hope this helps,   Gabe Smith Merle West Medical Center Information Systems 2865 Daggett Street Klamath Falls, OR  97601   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 541-885-4617 Fax: 541-885-4679     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thompson, Mary Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 9:42 AM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: [Talk] Word Search   I have word that I need to find in a line of code it could appear in multiple positions on this line but if it matches a word that is in a certain location on another line of code it is to perform certain functions. I have gotten the performance of the functions taken care of but how do I get my script to A. View and hold the value from one line then compare it to all the other text on another line looking for a match to determine what it will or will not do?? I can do a flat view = view or view <> view, but when the position changes and the name has to recognize first one and then compare to the other I am at a loss.  I appreciate any thoughts!
