on doStuff
put line 1 of field "text" into theEntireText
put the number of words of theEntireText into theBigCounter
put "1" into whichWord
repeat until whichWord > theBigCounter
put word whichWord of theEntireText into testWord
put "1" into whichChar
--Use the next repeat only if you're dealing with individual chars
repeat until whichChar > the number of chars of testWord
-- handle the individual chars of each word
-- if you find something special, put the word or char into a
variable, then exit repeat
end repeat
-- do more stuff here if necessary, which it probably is
-- if the special word or char in the above repeat is special, and we
need
-- to jump out of this loop, do an exit repeat
add 1 to whichWord
end repeat
--do even MORE fun stuff!
end doStuff
>Maybe there should be something like "stop repeat....resume".
Probably not necessary.
