Does UV have READLIST? Here's roughly how I'd do it in UD: OPEN "","SOMEFILE" TO F.TEST ELSE STOP SELECT F.TEST READLIST MYLIST ELSE STOP REC.COUNT = DCOUNT(MYLIST,@FM) LOOP REMOVE ID FROM MYLIST SETTING MORE WHILE MORE REPEAT

UV here I open a file, then use SELECT filevarible then proceed to do a LOOP/READNEXT/REPEAT to scan through the file. OPEN "","SOMEFILE" TO F.TEST ELSE STOP SELECT F.TEST LOOP READNEXT ID ELSE EXIT REPEAT Is there any way to know how many records WILL BE processed in that loop before scanning? @selected doesn't work, it only returns the number of items in the last group that was read I tried using SELECT filevariable TO list.variable .... but you can't do a DCOUNT on that variable you can only READNEXT FROM list.variable Aside from EXECUTE "SELECT filename" RTNLIST in place of the SELECT filevariable so that @selected would return with the actual number selected (which does do what I want) Any other methods?
