This could be a basic misunderstanding on my part, but it's driving me
crazy...

simple operation:

I read in a text file into a variable using read/lines. At the end of each
line is a tab and a price.

I want to strip out the prices and save to a variable.

Easy enough, one would think. First get the line by pick. Then parse the
line with the statement:

    parse line [thru "^" copy price]

works quite nicely THE FIRST TIME but then I find that ALL the tabs are gone
not just from the line but the variable containing all the lines read in
from the text file.

Is this like a bug or do I need to do something to preseve my tabs until
each line is processed?
