Several Text issues

[michael parent]

I looked at these suggestions still need help

1 Cannot see how I set the Htmltext when I am putting the text into the
field

2. I need to search by a user entered search string so it has to be by
variable, how Do I use the Find command with a variable, or is there a
different way to do this?

3. The revgourl seems to open the file, I don't want to open the file, I
want to open the Explorer Window to that file location so then the user
has access to the file to attach to email or burn to CD ect. This is
mainly going to be on Windows XP Pro

Thanks again

Michael Parent

Do this when you put the text into the field. If you do it by script 
then do it from there otherwise make a temp button and put it in there 
then delete the button later.

Find works: find string "beat must go on" in field "Quotes"
as well as 'is among' is 'not among'
as well as the offsets - lineoffset, itemoffset, wordoffset

use the revgourl -
revGoURL "http://www.example.org/info.html"
revGoURL "http://me:secret@www.example.com/secret-plan/"
revGoURL it
revGoURL "mailto:guido at sales.example.com"
revGoURL "file:///Folder/file.html"
