Extracting lines from text files - script with a couple of 'side effects'

[mstagliamonte]

Hi,

Thanks for the answers! And Dave, thanks for explaining the cause of the problem I will keep that in mind for the future. You're right, I am doing the search backward, it just seemed easier for me to do it in that way. Looks like I need to keep practising...

Both your suggestions work, I will try and learn from them.

Have a nice day
Max
