Repeat for each

I have a tab delimited list (8 items per line) of about 65,000 lines.
All but 1 item are numbers. Im trying to set it up so that I can enter
up to two operators per item (>,=, etc) to find a range of numbers. This
search criteria will then be used to evaluate my big list and place the
result into a field.
For example, I may need something like this:
item 2 of line x contains word and item 4 of line x >2 and item 8 of
line x>50 and item 8 of line x<500
Ive made menu buttons that I select the operators from and a field to
enter a value. My Process button would then string these conditions
together and search the list for possible matches.
Ive always used the repeat with x= structure and for some reason, cant
seem to get the repeat for each alternative. With this much data, I need
something fast. I know even less about arrays, but perhaps they would be
helpful as well?
Thanks for any help
