Simple Script help

[HeavyE]

I am very new to scripts and i don't understand much about them.

How do you enter in your FIND parameters into a script. I know how to get PERFORM FIND [ Replace Found Set] into a script, but how do i enter in a specific search parameter?

In any version other that 7:

You can perform the find, write the script using the Perform Find script step, and FileMaker will then save the last search you entered. Just remember when you go back to the script in the future, choose keep for find requests.

You can also write out the whole find in the script. Go to layout, enter find mode, insert text, perform find (don't restore).
