Hi Friedrich,

I'm sure Kenji's suggestion will do what you want to do. It might be helpful for you to read the find command in the docs to understand the various types of find and why one works for unicode and others don't.

Along with Kenji's method, I also use  offset:

      put the number of chars of the text of me into endchar
      put offset(findword,fld id 1003) into startchar
      if startchar is not 0 then
        select char startchar to startchar+endchar-1 of fld id 1003
      end if

Friedrich,

Try this.
It works for Japanese. I don't know Chinese.

on returnInField
    find string me in field id 1003
end returnInField

Ron,

     Thanks for telling me that you


search Japanese (and Chinese) within a fld successfully. Can you post
your script so maybe we can figure out what is not happening correctly?


I'm most happy to do this. The script itself is of utter simplicity:

on returnInField
     find the text of me in field id 1003
end returnInField

I cannot imagine what could be wrong with that since it works with Roman text in other stacks. The font of the two fields involved is specified as
"Apple LiGothic Medium,Chinese", and it is possible to search text in
both of them via the message box. So what could be the problem with
returnInField?

Thanks in advance,
Fritz
