How to read from a file every 3 lines until eof

Bunch of thanks Craig for your useful replies. I was trying to use 'repeat for each line' thing for 2 columns which was giving me wrong results. Now all things go fine. I want to set the cursor to busy while the process is running. Is there any chance to show the system busy cursor instead of LC's default one?

hi jacque, is it possible to merge 2 columns without repeat loop like you splitted into 2 parts? Reply will be much appreciated

I've tried with the merge function but seems it doesn't work like split command...

One Good news: I can use split command and the progress bar together without repeat loop which has boosted my process 6x faster. The process that took 2 min and 6 secs now takes 30 secs only

The opposite of SPLIT = COMBINE!

Hi Klaus, thanks so much for your reply. Your clue helped me finishing my pending project. The command "combine" never drew my attention before. Thanks you again

It is always useful to read the "See also:" sections in the dictionary!

ohh! that's my bad.. I always neglect 'see also' while searching helps in the dictionary. That's why I didn't find the proper command to combine the arrays splitted. Thanks you (Klaus) again for showing me my fault
