foundLine

the foundLine

Value returned: a line expression equal to the line of a field where the most recent find command located its target string. If nothing was found, it returns empty.

The line expression has the following form:

line i of card field n
line i of bkgnd field n

where i is the line number and n is the number of the field.

Note: A return character determines a line, not the line wrap. A line that wraps and is displayed as two lines is treated as one line by HyperTalk.

Examples

put the foundLine

-- Using foundLine to select a line:
find currentTopic in field "Topics"
select word 1 to 2 of the foundLine
