Christopher,
What would be a simple example of input paramters for your call? And
what would you expect it to produce?
Two optimizations I can think of:
1) Assign a local variable to: psDelims.length
Assuming that psDelims is a character string of delimiters, then do this:
nDelimiters = psDelims.length
and re-use that in your inner loop
1b) Rather than indexing into a character string of delimiters, I
don't know if it would be faster to make a list of delimiters and
index into them as:
listOfDelimiters[i]
2) Rather than breaking up the strings yourself, you could try
assigning "the itemdelimiter" and then use "word 1" of the string to
pull out the tokens. I wonder if that would be faster?
