The "filter" command

Post by johnmiller1950 » Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:00 pm

Good Morning All,

I am feeling rather stupid this morning. I have been using runtimeRev/LiveCode for years, and I am stuck on what should be a fairly simple task.

I have a list of customers, and I want to use the "filter" command to pull out the lines of that list that contains a specific name such as "Johnson".

I have horsed around for an hour now and can't come up with the proper code. Can someone please help me.

Thanks so much.

John Miller
