Inserting & deleting field text in multiple files

[skemper]

After searching the posts I couldn't find this topic covered previously. I want to insert and/or remove text in a specific field in a selected list of records. EX: After creating a mail list via FIND I want to put a notation in each record of the mailing I sent them without having to paste the information in each record individually. On other occasions I may have inserted information to help narrow a search, but now want to delete this information in each of those files. Any ideas how to automate this?

Thanks, Scott

Try the Replace function...it will change all the values across the found set at once.

Hi Scott,

Create a field and call it "Mark" or whatever, then create a script that loops through the found set of records and sets the field with "X" or "" depending on its current contents.
