Hi Dave,

My guess is that the engine expects the variable
'tcardno' to contain either the name or the number of
a card ; and unless your card is named "id 12345" it
is not going to find it.
The easy solution :
--
  put item 2 of the value of the foundLine into
tCardID
  go card ID tCardID
--
or you could use the 'do' command, but that would be
overkill.
