No loop, all at once. > the problem I am trying to solve is to read the file (I have one card > per > record) and I propose to put each record into a field (call it field1) > of > each card Do you know how the records in the textfile are separated ?

Then parse the var and put it into some fields. But we need more info about the records are stored. Example: Each record is a "line" in your file -> CR separated. Then you could script: put url"file:fred.txt" into the_recs put the num of cds into noc repeat with i = 1 to noc put line i of the_recs into fld 1 of cd i end repeat you get the picture...
