Hi Dave, That worked well. Thank you. Since the log file is > 500,000 lines long your second bit of advice was even more helpful. I can't estimate how many orders of magnitude faster it is without a line count running.

You could do this: if char 3 of vLineBuffer is a number then But you're missing something in the first line. Assuming vLineCounter is a number, and the data to parse is in a variable named vData, then you need something like this: put line vLineCounter of vData into vLineBuffer If you're parsing through all the lines in the file, and if it's long, you'll find that the expression "line vLineCounter of vData" takes longer to evaluate as the value of vLineCounter gets higher. In that case, the "repeat for each" format would be a lot faster. Something like: repeat for each line vLine in vData if char 3 of vLine is a number then -- your stuff end if end repeat Cheers Dave _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
