matchText question

[Michael Doub]

Here are the numbers for the 7.0.3 and 6.7.3.   Moving in the right 
direction.

7.0.3:
Original: 440
Latest: 485

6.7.3
Original: 117
Latest: 133

I am still blown away by the difference in using repeat for each and 
repeat with.   What a great lesson that will not be forgotten.
