use-livecode Digest, Vol 250, Issue 1

I don’t see how that would be faster. You are adding string processing overhead, not reducing it. Arrays work well because you already have an index of sorts (the keys of the array).

I have long intended to see if I can speed things up a bit.  Should I go back and look at converting string lists to arrays, then using filter, and finally converting back to a variable?  I suppose I could do this contingent upon number of lines just in case time penalties and benefits are not linear…

Any thoughts/advice welcome.
