Well, would this work... a-list: read/lines %original-file.txt new-list: sort a-list write/lines %new-file.txt new-list If not, then there's something I'm not understanding... Hmmm. Unless you want to read a line in at a time for some reason? In that case, open a port for reading your file. ie... a-port: open/lines %original-file.txt You can then access the file via the port as if it was a normal series. ie... a-list: copy [] ; Block to put lines in. forall a-port [ append a-list first a-port ] Then close the port... close a-port The lines will now be in the a-list block and can be sorted and saved as with my first example.
