Hi,

I am working on a simple display program that uses a CSV file.
It's almost ready but there is one function i can't figure out how to make it.

What i need is to skip direct to a certain position in the file.
I like to do that by making an input box where i enter a number that corresponds with the line

Like to hear from one of you.

With a flat file database you'll need to start at the beginning and read through every entry until you reach the one you require.

It should be possible using actions:

1. Go to start of file.
2. Set loop variable counter to one
3. Set loop variable limit to required value
4. Loop using "while condition is true" - IE counter is less than or equal to limit
5. Read "next field from file to" your variable
6. Increase loop counter


When loop ends, required value should be in your variable.

I'd be surprised if this hasn't already been covered as a script somewhere on the forum and the OpusScript help has several good examples.
