Repeat loop index

[erik hansen]

good to know that what they used to teach in
Basic intro courses is still valid.

why should:

put (the number of lines in tText) into tTotal
repeat with i = 1 to tTotal
   doSomething(line i of tText)
end repeat

be any faster than:

put 0 into tCounter
repeat for each line of tText
  add 1 to tCounter
  doSomething(line tCounter of tText)
end repeat

?

thanks,

Erik
