"Iterate" refers to cycling through each item in a list by using a repeat with...in loop. I would suggest you slow down and try to grasp the basics of Lingo first. Get a good book. There are a lot of them out there. Browse your friendly neighbourhood bookstore for them. Check the Lingo Dictionary and the sample tutorials. And then when you feel confident enough, dip into the fancier stuff. All the best. <snip> as Filextra displays the files as list i would have to iterate thorugh them. i am a very new beginner and wondered exactly What is ITERATION <snip> Regards, Pranav [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
