Sample input:
TextEscape ( Table::TextField )
Sample output:
The characters in the field that would cause the find to fail are escaped by inserting a backslash \ in front of them.
Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
This is expected to be used in a scripted find.
In Find Mode, while the script is paused, the user enters some text into a field on the layout and continues the script.
The script then resets the field using this function:
Set Field [ Table::TextField ; TextEscape( Table::TextField ) ] ;
and then runs Perform Find.
