[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] boolean script

michael@hippo.UUCP (Michael Hodgkins) (08/10/88)

I have set up a bibliography stack for my own use, with fields for author(s),
title, citation information, keywords, and abstract. There is also a sequence
field that automactically increments so each card I add has a unique number.
I want to use this stack to keep track of a very extensive collection of medicaljournal articles.  To be useful, I would like to be able to perform a find in
any field (other than the sequence number) with the option to use boolean terms
such as and, or, etc.  The output for this search should be a list of the card
sequence numbers turned up by the search.  This would direct me to the 
appropriate article(s) in my files.  Are there existing scripts that will do
this?  Does anyone have any ideas for such a script that they would be willing
to share?  Please email responses directly to me and I will summarize for the
net.  Thanks.
