You shouldn't try to change the tires while the car is moving, and you shouldn't try to modify the entity being used as the basis of a repeat loop.
For example, if you were to say repeat with i = 1 to 20 end repeat you shouldn't try to modify i within the loop. If you say repeat for each line theLine in myVariable end repeat you shouldn't try to modify myVariable within the loop. There are probably many possibilities for your solution, but I would probably do it this way: put empty into newContainer repeat for each line thisLine in vContainer put doSomeFunction(item -2 of thisLine) into item -2 of thisLine put thisLine & return after newContainer end repeat put char 1 to -2 of newContainer into vContainer Mark Powell wrote: > I want to use the 'for each' form of the repeat loop, but don't know how > to use it to modify data within a container.
