Programming multi line selections

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Rob,

When you select a line in a repeat loop, only the last found line  
will appear selected :-)
Try to parse the lines by number and set the hilitedLines at the end:

   put 0 into LineNo
   repeat for each line peptide in card field "audit"
   add 1 to LineNo
   if char -1 of peptide = "K" then put LineNo & comma after  
tHilitedLines
  end repeat
  delete char -1 of tHilitedLines
  set the hilitedLines of field "audit" to tHilitedLines
