Sounds like a job for MAP to me...

== [[1 2 3 4] [5 6 7 8] [9 10 11 12] [13 14 15 16 17] "one"]
... then ...
map: function [[catch] b [block!] f [function!] /all] [r v] [
r: make block! length? b
foreach c b [
if any [found? v: do [f c] all] [append/only r v]
]
r
]
... and, finally ...

... or ...

HTH!
