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.

Um . . . "$" is a mistake brought on by a dream I had about FORTRAN last night: in FORTRAN IV '$" was used for string variables.
