How to limit search to first 50 records?

Featured Replies

I need a script to search for a text string, but I only want results returned if the string occurs within the first 50 records of the table. For practical purposes, each record consists only of a text field. I'm probably overlooking something, but I can't think of a simple way to limit the search. (BTW, I have no control over the fields defined in the table, so adding a "search me" indicator is not possible.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Find the 50 records, then constrain. E.g.:

Show all records

Go to record 51

Set error capture(on)

Omit multiple[no dialog;99999999]

Constrain Found Set

  • Author

Omit multiple[no dialog;99999999]...

"Omit several records from the found set, starting with the current record ... "

That works perfectly. I had never used Omit Multiple Records before.

Thank you.
