Missing an "of" in the two lines above: put line textLine *of* $TEKST into line cookedLine of fld "COOKED" etc Don't know if that's the problem. > add 1 to cookedLine > end if > add 1 to verbLine > end repeat > add 1 to textLine > end repeat > end mouseUp > > put only "They were found" in line 1 of fld "COOKED" Your script logic seems unnecessarily complex. Since it looks as if only the last occurrence is ending up in the output field, instead of using a counter to keep track of the next line in the field, you could just put cr & line textLine of $TEKST after fld "COOKED" But once again, loading a line into a field repeatedly will be much slower than putting it into a variable in the repeat loop and then putting the variable into the field just once when the repeat is done. Getting or putting something from or into a field is much slower than doing the same in a variable, so just do it once. Also, I can see no reason to be loading your data into system variables, which is what "$WERBS" etc is defining. The only reason to put something into a variable beginning with "$" is if you want some other system process besides LC to be able to access the data. -- Peter Peter M.
