I'll believe you.

if beginRange == 0 || "some condition so it prints every 1000 records" {

I think you need the modulo (%) operator. This gives the remainder of an
integer division, which will, of course be zero every n records when you
modulo by n. For example 25 % 25 == 0, 50 % 25 == 0, 51 % 25 == 1 and so on.

hi there:
the problem is that i dont have an exact brake, ie if i do a module on
1050 i ll get 1, and some mod
but what happens when i get 1090? i ll get 1 again, so how do i make
it print only the first time ?
