My Brain is fried trying to get this Loop to work.

The goal is read each line of the text file and find each line
that matches the SearchText using the TF_Find function

Then loading the Text file and reading each line,
cheicking for a match, it loops until
a match is found, it then parses the "FoundRows" values and
displays the Row number & Script title.

Then it should continue to read the next line/s in the text file
following the 1st match until it finds the next match,
then gets the next value of "FoundRows" and repeats this until all the matches are found.

Ther problem is the "Loop, parse, FoundRows, `, "
is not exiting after finding the "SearchText" match and
going to the "Loop, parse, A_LoopReadLine, `n`r " and
incrementing to the next line in the text file.

Instead it stays in the "FoundRows" loop & displays
All the lines containing the SearchText matches x times for each
FoundRow value found, then each Ttitle found.

This is part of a much larger script. Please DO NOT change the script
or it can impact other areas of the larger script.
other than to FIX the line/s when it's stuck in the Loop rather than
incrementing to the next line in the Text File & the next Row & Title
in the "FoundRows" loop.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have a Great Holiday and New Year.

Try to change the Loop, parse line

Thanks Hugov,
However, it didn't make any difference in correcting the loop problem.

More specifically, the "Loop, parse, FoundRows, `, " does the following

It finds four (4)instances of the SearchText = color
Rows: 20, 21, 41, 42

1. 1st loop displays Row & Title for; Row 1, Title 1
and increments through Row 19, Title 19
then matches on ...

Doesn't increment Title
1. 1st loop displays Row & Title for; row 20, Title 20
2. 2nd loop displays Row & Title for; row 21, Title 20
Row 22 <> color
---
---
Row 40 <> color
3. 3rd loop displays Row & Title for; row 41, Title 20
4. 4th loop displays Row & Title for; row 42, Title 20
Row 43 <> color

Then increments Title to 21 after display pattern above
Then 22 Title 21
Then 23 Title 41
Then 24 Title 42

Should show:

1st loop displays Row & Title for; Row 1, Title 1
and increments through Row 19, Title 19
then yhe "Loop, parse, FoundRows, `, "
matches on ...

1. Row 20, Title 20
2. Row 21, Title 21
Row 22 <> color
---
---
Row 40 <> color
3. Row 41, Title 41
4. Row 42, Title 42

I've tried many combinations of Loops, but I'm just not seeing it.
Either a Fried Brain or Brain Fart.

Thanks agiain for any help you or anyone can provide

I dunno what you want to do, you use TF_Find to find the lines, they you are going to parse the file again to do what? Find the lines? You already have them with TF_Find so what is the point of parsing it a second time? If you ask me you don't need the loops at all by the looks of it

Edit: you have nested the wrong loops, or at least one to many, you don't need to parse a_loopreadline with `r`n as it is already a line. Read up on the various loop types before you continue with your script.

Hugo, thanks.

I'll just start all over again with what I really want to accomplish.
I guess I just got lost in my loops and forgot what goal I wanted to achieve.
