I was not aware of it either and can’t see anything in the engine that 
indicates it should work.. perhaps I’m missing something… `eof` is a constant. 
Really the repeat loop doesn’t know which file the `eof` might be referring to 
so it would be pretty weird syntax.

As far as I know you would need to use something like:

local tResult
repeat until tResult is eof
  read from file tFile until tDelim
  put the result into tResult
  -- process the text here
end repeat

Cheers
