Another way to do it is to use 'filter' to get the text of the line that
matches your wildcard, and then 'lineOffset' to find that line:
put tScript into tTemp
filter tTemp with ("local*" & tFunctionName & "*")
put lineOffset((cr & tTemp & cr),(cr & tScript & cr)) into tPos
Not sure if 'filter' is faster than 'matchChunk' when dealing with large
scripts, but I have a feeling it might be...
