Repeat for each

[Mark Smith]

I tend to exclude rather than include in these situations, so  
something like this?

repeat for each line tLine in tData
     if "word" is not in item 2 of tLine then next repeat
     if item 4 of tLine <= 2 then next repeat
     if item 8 of tLine <= 50 OR item 8 of tLine >= 500 then next repeat
     put tLine & cr after subSet
   end repeat

this kind of loop is usually pretty fast.

the repeat for loop effectively places each line in turn into the  
variable "tLine", with the limitaion that changing tLine itself will  
produce strange results, but it's contents can be read without problem.

Cheers,

Mark
