sript finds

[crazybake]

I have a script that performs a find... I see that you can expand find requests..

I know this may be simple... but, how do perform a find that looks for records that contain "data A" and/or "data B" in Field1. I have a show all records, set field to dataA and perform find.. but this obviously won't work...

thanks

For "AND" find, put both(or more) values in field separated by space(s) or carriage return(s).

For "OR" find create separated Find Requests

I guess I don't understand.. If I have the step "Set field 1", "dataA" and I want it to find DataA and DataB It will not let me specify two values by hitting carraige return..

Enter find mode

Set field 1, dataA

New request

Set field 1, dataB

Perform find

a new request is like a new record in a find. It will find everything that satisfies the first request AND everything that satisfies the second request.

Yours is "OR" find.

What I was saying is an "AND" find, like this

Enter find mode

Set field 1, dataA & " " & dataB

Perform find

yep, but he's looking for "AND/OR" which is an "OR", which, ironically enough, can also be described using the word AND in the context I used.
