foundLine
the foundLine
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.
