I was doing a workaround, but your answer is really what I needed!!

Hi Larry
oops, please replace "OFFSET" with "Skippy" in my example ;-)

Hi Larry,
Am 12.04.2014 um 16:38 schrieb la...@significantplanet.org:
I'm using 6.1.1 (rc 4) on XP Service Pack 3
I have the following line in my script:
set the hilitedline of field myGames to lineoffset(field myShort,field
myGames)
The line works just fine. However, if I add the optional Lines to Skip,
like this:
set the hilitedline of field myGames to lineoffset(field myShort,field
myGames,1)
then I get an incorrect result - the hilitedline is a line that does NOT
have the string [field myShort] in it. The hilitedline is the line
prior to the correct line. For example, line 67 instead of the correct
line of 68.
Furthermore, when I used a variable for Lines to Skip within a repeat
statement and then stepped through in debugging, the variable would
start off as 1, then go to 7 but in the next repeat it would revert back
to 1 - even though the debug showed no change of the variable.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have to add the OFFSET manually to the resulting line number! :-)
...
put 1 into tOffset
set the hilitedline of field myGames to (lineoffset(field "myShort",field
"myGames",tOffset) + tOffset)
...
And don't forget to put quotes around object names 8-)

Best
