The filter command works. If line "11" appears empty, it's probably due 
to the carriage return at the end of line 10 that is pushing the cursor 
down. To be sure, put this into the message box when you think you see 
11 lines:


   put the number of lines in fld "myTrainingOps"

(Note the quotes around the field name. Always quote all literals.)

Do you get 10 or 11?

So now if I cant sleep, instead of counting sheep I'll be counting bytes,
codeunits, codepoints, trueWords, segments, sentences and paragraphs :)

You should sleep better than ever because now that syntax should work 
with all languages, whereas in the past it would have returned only the 
last byte of a multi-byte character, giving you linguistic nonsense.

Just to confirm - it looks like we are safe to continue using the "delete the
last char of tList" structure (Fraser just confirmed it in a reply to my
question over at
http://livecode.com/blog/2014/04/02/examining-unicode-part-ii-digesting-text/
)

I can relax now without that niggling little question buzzing around my
head...

Hi Larry

Yep I use 'delete the last char of tVar' currently - the thing is can we use
in the future? (I'm assuming so) - see this blog for info on LiveCode's
upcoming Unicodification
http://livecode.com/blog/2014/03/31/examining-unicode-part-i-the-dissection/

Dave,
I don't know anything about Unicode, but "delete the last char of field 
myField" worked just fine in LC

Quick aside: I'm assuming that use of 'char' (as in "delete the last char 
of

tVar") in the new world of Unicode will still work to get rid of a
cr/return/tab - is that others' understanding too?

Do this:

repeat for each line thisLine in myTrainingLines
if the length of thisLine > 5 then put thisLine & return after myList
end repeat
delete last char of myList
put myList into field myTrainingOps
