anyone seeing a bug with for each and split when combined?

[Ken Ray]

Phil,

Try copying the value from the variable in "repeat for each" to a new
variable; it is documented that attempting to change a "for each"
variable can cause odd behavior. So try this:

repeat for each line tLine in tData
  put tLine into tLineData
  split tLineData using "="
  ...
  (etc.)
end repeat

HTH,
