Title: Re: using "repeat for each" when you don't want to start with the first line

I have a number of repeat loops in my software which I would love to speed up using the "repeat for each" technique but I don't want to start with the first line.  Instead, I want to start based on which line the user selects in a fld.  A typical example of what I'm currently doing follows:

 put the SelectedText of fld "Scene List" into CurScene
 put lineoffset(CurScene&return,SceneFile) into q
 repeat with q2 = q+1 to the number of lines in SceneFile
       do stuff
 end repeat

Any suggestions?

As a side note, should you be setting the WholeMatches to true before using the lineOffset function?  I got caught on this one.  If I don't set the WholeMatches to true lineOffset will find matches within lines.
