Thanks, Sarah. I ended up going with a solution similar to this to
get the job done. I thought Phil's suggestion would have worked, and
that's what I was trying to do, but unfortunately it didn't.
But thanks to all who responded.

It might be faster to filter the list simply to reduce it to lines
that contain the filter string anywhere, and then do a loop to check
if the filter string is in the correct item.
-- gather the original data and the required settings
put fld "List" into tList
put fld "Filter into Filter
put 3 into tItemNum
-- do the first filter to reduce the list
filter tList with "*" & tFilter & "*"
-- loop through making sure it appears in the right item
put empty into tMatches
repeat for each line L in tList
if item tItemNum of L contains tFilter then put L & cr after
tMatches
end repeat
-- remove the trailing cr
delete last char of tMatches
-- display the matching results
put tMatches into fld "Results"
Cheers.

Hi Chris,
To filter on column 3, are you using something like this?
put fld "list" into tList
filter tList \
with "*" & tab & "*" & tab & fld "filter" & tab & "*"
put tList into fld "list"
If so, it seems like that should work.

I'm trying to apply a filter to a list field. The columns of
the field
are tab delimited. I have a separate "filter" field that allows
the
user to apply a filter to the list based on whichever column is the
current sort column. I can get the filter to work fine so long
as the
first column is selected, but anything else does not work.
How can I apply a filter to a list based on say item 3 of each
line of
that list? Is that possible?
Thanks,
Chris
