HC to R question

[Dale Pond]

WA,

You offer an interesting suggestion. Thanks. Every card fld "Card Name" 
has data so I don't know what might be gained by examining each card 
then marking it. There aren't that many cards in each stack. With HC 
anyway the restriction is 32k characters in the IndexField which lists 
all the cards by name and ID. Rev has a higher fld limit so this 
restriction is lifted. On these newer computers speed of execution 
doesn't pose an issue. Even with adding in a "sort cards of stack" line 
it takes about 1/2 (or less) of a second to complete this script. I will 
try your "(option : sort lines of index1 by item 1 of each)", that might 
improve general UI performance.
