The unmark command sets the marked property of the specified cards to false. Use it to deselect sets of cards that you have marked. Unmark cards where visits each card in the stack and evaluates the expression. If its value is true, HyperCard unmarks the card. Unmark cards by finding unmarks cards using the same mechanism as the find command. It unmarks cards very quickly.

Examples

unmark card
unmark this card
unmark first card
unmark first marked card
unmark marked card 12
unmark all cards

unmark cards where field "title" contains "select"
unmark cards where (word 2 of field "Pages" = 1)
unmark cards where isCommand() -- function returns true or false
unmark cards by finding "Mary Lou"
unmark cards by finding "Mary Lou" in field 1
-- unmark only some of the marked cards:
unmark cards by finding "Mary Lou" in field 1 of marked cards

-- This handler only unmarks the marked cards:

on unMarkCards
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of cards
     set cursor to busy
     if (the marked of card i) then unmark card i
   end repeat
end unMarkCards
