plot line until crossed in the future

Let's suppose I wanted to plot a high of day line until price reaches it again.

I've been trying to study and understand "fold" and have tried writing some with it to no avail.

How else could you accomplish this?

Thanks!

until it reaches it again.... then what?
erase the previous line and draw a new line across the day, at the new level?

or leave the previous line and start a new line?


Code:
# dayhi_line_0

input show_lines_for_higher_highs = yes;
input show_one_line_per_day = yes;

def newday = GetDay() <> GetDay()[1];

# -------------------------------
# multiple new highs/day

def hi = if newday then high
else if high > hi[1] then high
else hi[1];

plot z1 = hi;
z1.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
z1.SetHiding( !show_lines_for_higher_highs);

# --------------------------------

# 1 line / day

def agg2 = AggregationPeriod.day;
def high2 = high(period = agg2);
plot z2 = high2;
z2.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
z2.SetHiding( !show_one_line_per_day );
#
# ---------------
# x.SetStyle(Curve.MEDIUM_DASH);
# x.SetDefaultColor(Color.red);
# x.setlineweight(1);
# x.hidebubble();
#
