Sorry, I forgot an essential line...
function quickSortAndFilter theData,theItemNr,theFilter
set the itemDel to tab
sort theData by (item theItemNr of theData is not theFilter)
repeat for each line myLine in theData
if item theItemNr of myLine is theFilter then
put myLine & cr after myNewData
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
return myNewData
end quickSortAndFilter
Best regards,

Hello Everyone,
I'm struggling with the filter command. I have tab-delimited data
in a field, where each row has at least 56 columns. I want to
filter the data based on a chosen number in that fourth column,
for example, to return all lines that have a 9 there. The fourth
column only contains a number from 1 to 10. The following handler
works most of the time. I put three wild card expressions, lone
asterisks separated by tabs, to make sure nothing is being picked
up in the first three columns. The tab and asterisk (and it could
be just an *) following myNumber says that it doesn't matter what
is in the columns after the fourth.
