Thanks to Mark and jbv for the good advice.
I ended up using the "for each line..." since that was easy and fast

Larry,
"repeat for each line..." is definitely faster
and
repeat for each line j in myVar
if j contains myText then
end if
end repeat
should be pretty fast.

I have a large variable containing about 3000 lines of data - each line
about 100 characters.
I want to search through the variable and find all the lines that contain
a specified string
Should I use (repeatedly) "lineoffset...", or should I use "repeat for
each line..." or maybe some other faster way?
Or with only 3000 lines of data, does it even matter?
TIA
Larry
