This is weird beyond measure. When I step 5 times through the repeat loop below I get the expected results--see below.

When I allow the loop to "run" the first few lines are the second set of results below. They are completely different and incomprehensible.

The purpose is to add a new database field which is a combination of the street name, street number, and last name of the voter.

set the itemdel to tab
repeat for each line tLine in tOld
    put tab & item 5 of tLine & item 4 of tLine & item 2 of tLine  after tLine
    put tLine & cr after oldResults
end repeat


First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by stepping through the loop. Exactly what I expected.

(The results above would all line up nicely with the proper setting of the tabs.)

First few lines of the variable oldResults obtained by running the loop. Totally bizarre results.
