In the lineOffset comparison, you are asking it to find the text in the string "tStock" which you have quoted. You have not supplied a variable name or indicated a field. I strongly recommend that you put the fields into variables and work with them instead of directly with the fields. This will be many times faster. > Then if I take out the condition, something even stranger happens. It writes > as many zeros as there are items doing the match before item 1 of line 1 of > tStoc.

You are asking it to change line 0 of the data every time through the loop and as there is no line zero, Rev is changing what appears before line 1 which is the closest it can get.
