Why not: filter lines of tLines with "xyz*" repeat for each line rLine in tLines . end repeat The suggested - where rLine begins with "xyz" - clause is 5 words. The - filter lines of tLines with "xyz*" - is also just 5 words Extending LiveCode's to do something you can already do in the language easier makes most sense if it save the developer significant keystrokes. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
