thanks for that code sample. I was not aware that i can use EOF in a repeat

I was not aware of it either and can’t see anything in the engine that
indicates it should work.. perhaps I’m missing something… `eof` is a constant.
Really the repeat loop doesn’t know which file the `eof` might be referring to
so it would be pretty weird syntax.
As far as I know you would need to use something like:
local tResult
repeat until tResult is eof
read from file tFile until tDelim
put the result into tResult
-- process the text here
end repeat
