thanx all

ok the while loop still seems to freeze echo'ing after a few 100 lines

thanks John, I dont think the /play will do what I want it to at the moment tho

basically it's a log file, and i'm scanning the log file [line by line], for instances of a certain string, every time the string exists, it increments a %counter

tbh I don't mind it actually taking longer, but it would be nice to see a progress number
