OK, with all your thinking in my mind (I'm not a borg) my original script:
SomeThing: "x10"
PortFile: open/read %file
qty: 0
while [PortFile: find/tail PortFile SomeThing][
qty: qty + 1
]
now look like this:
SomeThing: "x10"
PortFile: open/read %file
Pos: PortFile
qty: 0
while [Pos: find/tail Pos SomeThing][
qty: qty + 1
]
close PortFile
thanks Volker, Tom, Izkata and Gabrielle
