I think you need the "do" command. Read in your file as you are doing and then use a loop to step through the file "doing" each line.
I'm not sure if you could just "do" the whole file without the loop but that would be worth testing. -- file has been read & put into a variable called 'myFileData' do myFileData or repeat for each line L in myFileData do L end repeat Cheers, Sarah P.S.
