Macro question - stopping when find command fails?

Post by Mr. Strange »

I read in the Macro help that macros will stop executing when a "find" command returns null. I have found this not to be the case.

Specifically, I have a large number of tokens in two lists. The first list is verified, valid tokens. Tokens in the second list are valid only if they share a token name with a token in the first list.

I wanted to make a macro which would go through the second list, try to "find" the same name in the first list, and exit when there was no match. This isn't working for me. Any suggestions?
