Ok thanks all of you! I think I'll be looking a bit into externals ( however, I was hoping for a built in solution) I guess I like the 'grep' option most - it's dead easy to write whatever I want for an output als a perl oneliner or something - but even that's not really builtin - let alone multiplatform. It seems to me that zexy is one of the most common externals? so I'll have a go with that; it seems to me there are multiple solutions - coll is quite precise what I want without anything extra.
Just to know - if you would make something that requires a bit of an external - what would be the most common externals to choose to use? which are the most wide available and used ones - In terms of 'can be expected to be available 90% of the time"?

maybe coll from the cyclone library is what you want. you can output the lines by index (just by sending a number), jump to any line you want (goto number), have next or prev (ious), and you can also define your indexing style yourself, like associate/map lines to any symbol you like. marius.

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to store 100+ messages in preferably a text file, and be able to read just one of them, something like by reading out the linenumber or a preceding number ( so it would be an array, but containing text.). I have looked at qlist and textfile, but that's not wat I need I think - but I havent' found anything else in the reference that did something with text...
