err... that s/b:
foo = ['a', 'b', 'c']
for (i in 0..foo.size()) {println foo[i]}
a
b
c
... but you get the idea. :-)

Scott,
You can just use a range, such as 1...3
for (i in 1..3) { println i }

2

You can use a suitable variable in a range, too, of course, so:
foo = ['a', 'b', 'c']
for (i in 0...foo.size()) { println i }
a
b
c
If you use the '..' operator for a range, the high value of the range
is included, whereas the '...' operator does not include it.
So, '..' with the upper bound being the collection length works like
the usual for loop "< length" idiom.

Hi,
Is there a Groovy idiom (with a counter) to use instead of a standard
'for' loop? I need to use the counter from the loop iterations.
I get this exception when I code a standard 'for' loop (i.e., for
(int i =0; i < foo.size(); i++):
Exception in thread "main" NOT YET IMPLEMENTED: standard for loop
