I agree with Monte about using arrays. I tried this:
on mouseUp
get fld "oldList"
repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of it
put item 1 of line y of it into tList["oldList"][y]["country"]
put item 2 of line y of it into tList["oldList"][y]["city"]
put item 3 of line y of it into tList["oldList"][y]["device"]
put item 4 of line y of it into tList["oldList"][y]["counter"]
end repeat
get fld "newList"
repeat with y = 1 to the number of lines of it
put item 1 of line y of it into tList["newList"][y]["country"]
put item 2 of line y of it into tList["newList"][y]["city"]
put item 3 of line y of it into tList["newList"][y]["device"]
put item 4 of line y of it into tList["newList"][y]["counter"]
end repeat
repeat with y = 1 to 4 --the number of lines of the keys of tList
if tList["oldList"][y]["country"] <> tList["newList"][y]["country"] then
put "Line" && y & return after countryDif
if tList["oldList"][y]["city"] <> tList["newList"][y]["city"] then put
"Line" && y & return after cityDif
if tList["oldList"][y]["device"] <> tList["newList"][y]["device"] then
put "Line" && y & return after deviceDif
if tList["oldList"][y]["counter"] <> tList["newList"][y]["counter"] then
put "Line" && y & return after counterDif
end repeat
end mouseUp
Now this need refining, since it only reports the lines that are different
between the two lists.
