Repeat for each assistance.

[Dan Friedman]

Andy,

Just insert your own counter:

on checkItemCount
  put 0 into tCounter
  repeat for each line gameLine in fld "gamelist"
    add 1 to tCounter
    if the number of items in gameLine <> 5 then
      answer (something)
      set the hilitedLines of field "gameList" to tCounter
      exit checkItemCount
    end if
  end repeat
end checkItemCount

Hope that helps.
