Find Item's Line w/offset

[mark mitchell]

I want to find an item in a container, but only whole matches.  Then I 
want to delete the LINE which contains that item.  So I need that line 
number information.  I know you can get this with the FoundLine, but is 
there any way to get it using offset?  Since I need whole matches to an 
item, I cannot use 'lineOffset' but must use 'itemOffset'.  So is there 
anyway to convert from item number to a line number of a container?  I 
wanted to use 'offset' instead of 'find' because I read somewhere that 
offset is much faster, but maybe that is irrelevant at todays processor 
speeds.  Still, would like to know if it is possible.  Thanks.
