Good Morning Skip, How about:put fld "super large blob of text" into tFieldText repeat for each line n in tFieldText if item 9 of n is empty OR item 15 of n > 0 then delete n end repeat ... not tested. But it seems like maybe you have something else in mind? - Charles
If you are deleting lines, you need to loop from the last line down to the first, referring to line numbers. If the computer has enough memory, it might be faster to copy lines to be kept into another variable, like:
put fld "super large blob of text" into tFieldText put empty into tFieldTextFiltered repeat for each line tLine in tFieldText if (item 9 of tLine is empty) OR (item 15 of tLine > 0) then next repeat put tLine & cr after tFieldTextFiltered end repeat RObert _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
