I have a rather simple stack with text in fields on a number of cards
(Rev 2.6 under Mac OS 10.3.2). The text is in Chinese.
In order to look for other instances of a term found on the present card
(in fld ID 1003) I'm using a "find selection" button the script of which
is as follows:
on mouseUp
put the selectedText of fld ID 1003 into SelCh
go to cd "Single Line" of stack "Message Box"
put "find" && quote&SelCh"e into fld "Message Field"/
of cd "Single Line" of stack "Message Box"
select after text of fld "Message Field" of cd "Single Line" of stack
"Message Box"
end mouseUp
I'm not sure whether there is anything wrong with this script but the
following things happen:
1) With some words, the first instance (on the present) card is indicated
by the box and with each further hit of the return key one proceeds to
the next card where the term is found.
2) In the case of other words, the instance on the present card is not
identified and only one other card is found, although the term actually
occurs on a number of cards.
3) There are still other words in case of which the response is simply
"not found".
4) I've run into so far one case where no instance is indicated and I am
told
Script compile error:
Error: Script: missing "" after literal
5) There was another word, where no box was drawn at all but all
instances were found.
This scenario is very bewildering, to say the least. Is there any mistake
in the logic of the script or do I miss some other subtle detail? Any
help highly appreciated.
It might be a unicode problem, but I'm not sure. What happens if,
instead of using the message box, you use a script to find words? Make a
button with a script like this:
on mouseUp
global gFindText
if gFindText = ""
then put the selectedText of fld ID 1003 into gFindText
find gFindText
end mouseUp
You should turn off autohiliting for the button so that the selectedtext
remains selected when you click.
When you repeatedly click the button, do you get the same results?
