The above loop is simple but now go to something like

for a = 1 to length(lines) do ....

Now you are evaluating the length of lines over and over and over again.
Granted, length is stored in the sequence but some other calculation.
 
If that's what you want, you can do it via

while 1 do
end while

If you have trouble typing that, you can use an editor that will expand loop to
while 1 do.. Most decent editors do that.
