Well that brings up an interesting point. When I refer to a chunk
"line x" in my example, Revolution does not include the paragraph
delimiter, but in Devin's it does. How odd then that the
interpretation of what is meant by "line" is modified by how you
compare it with something else. Far be it from me to criticize
<tongue firmly implanted in cheek> but shouldn't "line x" mean
exactly the same thing no matter where or how you use it? Ambiguity
in interpretation is programmer's purgatory. (Hey! A new Sly
Saying!) Good catch though.
Add this to the bizarre list. It might be worth a trip to bugzilla if
you have a recipe for them.

Having been caught by things like this before, I would suggest a
small modification to Bob's script:

This will work if the numbers in your list go to > 9 and they are not
in numeric order. For instance,
10
10
10
2
2
1
1
1
If you just check "is in" the script will skip '1', since 1 is in 10.
The 'among the lines of' forces the comparison to only consider whole
line matches.
