Sorry folks I should have been more specific and said using existing syntax. So the original thing posted is what I’m after at the moment:

local tIndex
put 1 into tIndex
repeat for each line tLine in tLines
   — code
   add 1 to tIndex
end repeat

Jacque the break thing is possible but not what I’m after at the moment. Could you open an enhancement request and I’ll try and get that done for you.

Cheers
