Description | Use the foundLine function after a find command to determine where the text was found. The foundLine function is cleared when the text selection moves into the foundField or when the current card is closed. At the same time, the box the find command draws around the found text disappears. If there is no box, the foundLine function returns empty. To get a chunk expression describing the word or string that was found, use the foundChunk function. | ||||||
