Don't worry about it, it happens to just about every person who's had experience with HyperCard when they come over to LiveCode: the "repeat for each" aha! moment: any time you find yourself writing: repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines|words|items of someContainer stop. Rewrite it as: repeat for each line|word|item in someContainer With the other way, every time in the repeat that you use "chunk i of someContainer" you're forcing the engine to count through all the chunks up to that one. With "repeat for each" you're not. If you need to know which chunk you're on, use an index variable. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
