But what is the advantage of returning the offset from the last offset rather than the offset from beginning? I think I do need to insert put zero into t after the first repeat and before the second repeat.

Don't know; I'd agree there are probably more cases where an overall answer would be more convenient, but I don't see that it makes any great difference. I can't think of any significant case where the relative result is easier to use. I think I do need to insert put zero into t after the first repeat and before the second repeat. Or just move the existing put zero into t from before the first repeat to immediately after it (before the second repeat) -- Alex. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I think I do need to insert put zero into t after the first repeat and before the second repeat. Sometimes I parse by removing things from the front, other times I leave things in place. The current scheme lets me do both as I choose. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
