So what did it filter? It’s the same string I started with.
Exactly. You want matchtext, not filter.
There is a way to finesse this if you really need to use filter:
local tSubString, tTarget, tLargeTextString
local tResult
put "*THIS*FIND*" into tTarget
put "abcdef&cr&ghijkTHISISMYTEXTTOFINDlmnopq&cr&rstuvwxyz" into
tLargeTextString
filter tLargeTextString with tTarget
set the itemDelimiter to "THIS"
put item 2 of tLargeTextString into tSubString
set the itemDelimiter to "FIND"
put item 1 of tSubString into tResult
