http://www.lua.org/pil/7.2.html Dunno about a good implementation. Something like this? function iterate(filter) local clients = client.get() local idx = 0 local iter = function() idx = idx+1 while clients[idx] and not filter(clients[idx]) do idx = idx+1 end return idx, clients[idx] end return iter, null, iter() end for c in iterate(function(c) return c.name ~= "Firefox" end) do print("not Firefox: ", c.name) end (Disclaimer: No idea if this code even works) Uli -- "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
