@Paul, to defend you, it's not always so obvious to know what we can or cannot do with regex. @Mike yes, Perl is great and that's certainly why I have embeded Perl in LiveCode, Mmm, more than 10 years ago. I've also helped some well known LiveCoders to do some complex transformation with Perl

Hi Paul, AFAIK you need to deal with an hybrid approach (regex + livecode) So, here is one way to do it: put 3 into pPage repeat for each line T in tCiCData if matchText( T, "(?x) \t (\d+) , \d+ , (\d+) , \d+ \z", n1, n2) then if (n1 <= pPage) and (n2 >= pPage) then

Your "ie" is not true. So what do you want? [a] all lines starting on page 2 OR ending on page 2 OR containing page 2 ie (pPage >= starting page) OR (pPage <= ending page) [b] all lines starting on page 2 AND ending on page 2 ie (pPage >= starting page) AND (pPage <= ending page) > Paul D.

Re: Regex help...

Not sure regex can do what you want, or if it can its far far over my head. Would it work instead to use lc script to parse? If you repeat through your data (each line form, with tLine as the current line and pPage as the page to be looked for...) you can use a one liner like this to build a list
