can someone help me out with my loop?

[Hypertrophy]

The code below reads from files based on the window name which is where it gets most of its filename. It then counts the file names lines to the end to start reading from the end and downward. It then takes all the new lines added in the file its reading from and writes them to a temp file. My problem is when it goes to read that temp file somehow old data is not getting deleted. This is I think my problem. Because it's throwing up msgbox()'s that shouldn't appear since that's old data. Can someone help me with the loop and maybe I've ordered things wrong?

I would be SO grateful if someone would help me >_<

So... I read your description and code several times and... I've concluded that I'm going to need some example data files that you're working with.

Based on what you're saying and what you've provided I just can't quite understand the rhyme or reason to what you're doing without seeing what you're reading in and what you're outputting.

Are you working with just one file, or multiple files every time this runs? And as I gather, you're trying to read in only new lines that appear at the end of those files and write them out again?

exodious,

Depending on how many windows are open it will write and then read that many temp files using the window name. What I am trying to do is as I am reading in only new lines that it will write only new data to the temp file thus displaying only new data.

Soo...

And as I gather, you're trying to read in only new lines that appear at the end of those files and write them out again?

The answer to the above is yes.

Here's an example data file I'm reading from: This is the basic syntax of the file. And just as a reminder this text file is constantly updated.
