-----------------

on mouseUp
   put field "date" into thisDate --here I specifies which text to look
for
   repeat for the number of cards
     put field "sessions" into tempText
    
     repeat for each line xLine in tempText
      if matchtext(xline,thisdate) = true then
          put xline & return after thisline
      end if
     end repeat
     go to next card
     if cardIDs is 1040 then exit repeat
   end repeat
     go to card "search"
     put thisLine into field "result"
end mouseUp

Since you are checking each line in your repeat loop then a matchtext does
better. Foundline is better for founding items on multi card in a stack.

Hope this helps.
