Hello

The 'Loop Text File Lines' action is really quite handy, but sometimes not all lines in a file need to be looped, and the target data may be anywhere in the document. It would be really useful if it were possible to nominate a start and end line based on number, (similar to the 'Loop Range' action) or by variables - i.e starting/ending the loop lines based on nominated keywords.

The Loop Text File Lines has been optimized for speed, therefor it is not shown in the text viewer for example. It also does not know the total number of lines, because it has no lookup ahead.

Simple solution: You could add a number variable as counter in your loop and skip lines with a If action.
