Hi Matthias,
Since the data is already in memory, there is no reason to process it in steps
of 50. Also, using repear with x =... is very slow. Use repear for each with a
counter instead:
put 0 into myCounter
repeat for each line myLine in DATA
add 1 to myCounter
// do something with myLine
if myCounter = 50 then
// do something special
put 0 into myCounter
wait 0 millisecs with messages
end if
end repeat
You could do it this way if you want to show a progress bar for example. You
could also leave the counter out of your script entirely.
