Yes, but the OP wants to know how to do it, not produce a mature, robust
version. He may want to learn the programming aspects on his own, make his
own mistakes. From the content of his post, he didn't bother to yield any
time during execution, therefore his script ate up the CPU and consequently
failed.

At that level, a simple solution really is simple.
