Timing (was wordOffset, repeat loop, speed?

[Mark Brownell]

Wow!
63 milliseconds; 206 hits; 390345 characters ...looks like I have a  very
fast parser. It even works well with empty space, it gives me exactly what I
needed. The array contains all first character numerical valuse for each
hit.

So what about multiple OS uses for the licensed person of the single pro
version license? -- anyone?

Thanks for the help, "offset()" did the trick.
