bizpal Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Would a calculation field be the route to go with the following? Is it possible in FileMaker Pro to check every word in a text field in one database against single-word entries (records) in another database and identify matches? All words in the original text field that matched would ideally be highlighted or bolded to indicate match. Additonally, I would like to link from each highlighted word to corresponding fields in another database. Thanks. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Use the PatternCount() function to identify matches. Highlighting matched words is another issue: it can be done but is quite kludgy. think there are some demos around... I'll leave it to others to post their urls.
