Programming Help Needed

Hi all,

I have need of some programming help to optimize some script.

I have some text search results that are filtered and and mongered to display correctly for my application. My existing script uses text in a field as the source and final display for the search results. The results are also sorted by use of an array.

What I have now works more-or-less in LC 6, but is very slow (like 20-30 seconds for 1,000 results) to display the modified search results in LC 7. The array portion of the script sorts the results and, in LC 7, is taking about 5 seconds to do just that task. In LC6 this same process took about a total of 4-5 seconds.

I realize that what I have done myself could be optimized to be much better and faster by someone better than I at this, and there seems to be a slowdown in LC7’s operation to be overcome.

I think that for an experienced programmer this is a 1-3 hour job. I will pay an hourly fee to someone who will do this as well as sign a non-desclosure.

Please contact me off-list at bogdanoff at me.com <mailto:bogdanoff at me.com>

Thanks,
