Thanks again Jacque. As usual, I kludged my way through. I'm not sure why, but in your suggested script, the result never = "not found" so it repeats forever. So, I added three lines: repeat put the number of this card into firstNum -- first added line find tVar in field "thisField" put the number of this card into secNum -- second added line if the result = "not found" then exit repeat if firstnum > secnum then exit repeat -- third added line put the foundchunk & cr after tFoundList end repeat That works. There's probably a better way. I've got another question, sort of related, but I'll start a new thread for that.
