 The result, stored in the [[action:For_Each| For Each action ]] variable, can be either the matched string, the position of the match or the range (position,length) of the match.
+So, let's assume you've used a variable theRange to store the range in a For Each action.
+It can be referenced by:
+theRange[1]
+theRange[2]
+The range is a comma separated list of values:
+n1,n2
+OR
+Start-of-Match,Length-of-Match
+So the the normal Keyboard Maestro substring notation works with it.
+It's all too easy to get misdirected into thinking the numbers reference match 1, match 2 – but this is not the case.\\
+FIXME -- Peter, then how are the numbers obtained?  Detailed example please.
+Here's a practical example
+{{ :collection:for_each_apply_style_to_clipboard.jpg?nolink |}}
+FIXME -- the above screenshot needs correcting or clarifying.  Where does the Variable "Verse" come from?  It seems to me that it should be the variable "matchVar", which is set at the top of the "For Each" Action.  Also, to be meaningful, you need to show the source data that is being used by the "For Each" Action.
