I'll try benchmarking this against Jacque's suggestion of matchChunk.
Filter is normally pretty fast, but I'll have to use the regex version,
and I'm not sure what the speed implications will be.
Benchmark result averages over 10 runs on a 2700-line script:
filter lines of script 2612.6ms

Nah... I should have worded it differently to start with.

Been there.

Ah! matchChunk and the the number of lines of... etc...
That should do it.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here but...
I need to use a wildcard in the lineOffset function but I can't seem to
find the correct invocation.
put lineoffset("local*", tScript) into tPos
always returns zero
put lineoffset(tFunctionName, tScript) into tPos
of course returns a line
13 matches
