Returns

Field level only.Details
Opens the Keyword file you specify as a parameter, then checks the words or phrases on the current page against the keywords in the list to find a match. The location of the found word or phrase that matches an entry in the keyword file will be remembered so the result can be used by subsequent actions. Matching is case sensitive.To improve matching, this action automatically adjusts the search criteria to allow for common character substitutions. For example, if the list includes "will" and the recognition read "wi11", a match will still occur.
Common substitutions include characters: B8, Z2, S5, oO0 and iItl1.
- Example
FindKeyList("InvNum")This action searches the current page, from first word to the last word of the current page, for the first keyword in the Invoices Number Keyword file (InvNum.key). If successful, the search stops and remembers the location of that word for subsequent actions; if not, the action continues searching for the next word in InvNum.key, starting from first word of the current page, repeating this search pattern until a match is found, or until there are no more keywords.
