Just getting used to the text processing in Rev (thanks for the last bit of help!)

So, I've gone a bit crazy and downloaded a thesaurus (I'm playing with one of the example text editors from RevOnline). The thesaurus is just a comma seperated list with <CR><LF> between each line of similar words.

What I want to do is search for a word and then put the entire line that the word appears in into a field (i.e. the synonyms). So, if I search for a word, how do I return what line that word appears in?

I guess it's something like :

-search for the word
-put line number into a variable (x)
-put line x into fld "synonyms"

Am I close?

Try this -- all in one statement:

[code]put line lineOffset("WordToFind", theThesaurus) of theThesaurus into field "Synonyms"[/code]

Wonderful, works a treat!
