Very Simple Memo Help

[gnosis13]

Please forgive my stupidity...I am new at Builder5. I have a memo box loaded from a text file. I would like to loop through each line one at a time putting the line in an edit box each iteration until the last line in the memo. I will later use the edit box to do some testing etc but for now, I just need to loop through the memo.

This should be a simple DO...Until EOF loop but totally eludes me (too much Visual Basic!)

Help?

The help file indicates that this might work:

Memo1->SelectAll();  // Selects all text in memo box
Memo1->CutToClipboard(); // Sends all text to clipboard
Edit1->Clear(); // Clears everything in edit box
Edit1->PasteFromClipboard(); // Copies all from clipboard
Memo1->SetFocus(); // Sets focus back to memo box

Actually, what I need is each individual line, one at a time. Kind of like reading through an INI file.

ex:
for (x = 1, x < EOF, x++)
{
edtTemp->Text = memDisplayWindow->Lines->Strings[x];
}

The problem is that I don't know how to find EOF of a memo.

I haven't tried this but something like this should work.

for (int j=0, j<MemoBox->Count, j++)
{
    EditBox1->Add(MemoBox1->Strings[j]);
}
