well that last part is what i am talking about
Quote:

say u wanted to set a variable then read from that variable inside the loop then reset that variable again and perform the loop ... ive had trouble where it actually wont read that variable from the loop because it doesnt set it fast enough to read from inside the loop and ended up with a blank list of nothing ........


Code:
  
 var %z = $lines(blah.txt)
  var %t = 1
  while ( %t <= %z ) {  
  .timer1 1 4 msg $active $read(blah.txt,%t)   
  inc %t
}
}


now lets say %z = 6
if your lucky you get line 6 because it is inc'd to 7 before anything can happen
thats the best i can figure out as to what the problem is
