lineoffset

[Jim Ault]

I suppose I should be a little more clear on why this works with  
lineOffset

lineOffset finds the first match in a text block.
If the string to find includes one or more cr's then it is a multiline  
match with the return value being the first line value.

Eg.  using these 4 lines ----------
rainbow| clouds rain sunshine
photo| rain rainbow lightning
image| party balloon cake
balloon| red float photo smile noise


lineOffset of   ("cake
balloon| red float photo smile noise")
is 3

lineOffset of   ("rainbow lightning
image| party balloon cake
balloon| red")
is 2
