Hi all.
I followed alead that suggested I try setting the sorted to true BEFORE I
load the file in to the TStringList.
This does speed it up.....BUT instead of there being 38,000 lines, I only
get 1600 !! figure THAT one out !!
I also did the AddObject thing too, but it actually added time, basically
cos. I had to read in each line to do the AddObject bit.
I tried loading the file into another temp TStringlist, then looped through
this and did the AddObject bit to another TStringlist, but it made no diff.
in time...well maybe a few milliseconds.
Am I just being unrealistic? is 38,000 lines of code processing in roughly
10 seconds about right ??
considering unsorted it takes 2 seconds...
Cheers, Jeremy Coulter
