Hello clever Rev programmers,
I have a simple question or maybe it is a simple challenge.
I have two lists of integers.  The list are not long, perhaps 5 to 50  
items e.g.:
list1="310,423,522,211,107,340,"
lis2="311,312,313,318,320,323,325,330,333,337,340,"
I want to find if any of the items in list1 have a match in list2.
I know I could do it with a repeat, something like this:
get false
repeat for each item theItem in list1
   if theItem is not among the items of list2 then next repeat
   get true
   exit repeat
end repeat
I was wondering if it could be done faster without a repeat through  
some Rev trick.
Dennis
