I am trying to write a script which will need to find a particular lead OR contact (by email).  My current approach is to get all leads, then iterate over the collection until the appropriate one is found.

Here is my code:

1. //get the appropriate category
   
2. loc = zoho.crm.getRecords("Leads"); //leads or contacts
   
3. if (wasContact) {
   
1. loc = zoho.crm.getRecords("Contacts");
   
4. }
   
5. //find by email
   
6. oldItem = null;
   
7. for each assoc item in loc {
   
1. if (item.email == old.doctorEmail && item.pr_account == true) {
   
1. oldItem = item;
   
2. break;
   
2. }
   
8. }
