Pick up a specified text on several card?

[Sarah]

It may be that the find command is doing something weird. Try using 
lineOffset instead.
on mouseUp
   put field "date" into thisDate --here I specifies which text to look 
for
   repeat for the number of cards
     put lineOffset(thisDate, field "sessions" into lineNum
       put (line lineNum of fld "sessions") & return after thisLine
     go to next card
     if the ID of this card is 1040 then exit repeat
   end repeat
     go to card "search"
     put thisLine into field "result"
end mouseUp

BTW, this scripts will only collect data from cards between the starting 
card & card ID 1040. It might be better to specify a starting card.

Cheers,
Sarah
