Pulling the data in in chunks and dropping in the small optimization recommended by Tab and Daniel (and naively missed by yours truly) has really shaved off a bunch of time. I have a feeling that making it look more like Thomas' and Charlies' code will get it down to just a few seconds...which is what I need to do.
Here goes...I'll let you know how it works out.
Funny, I never thought of always operating on the front of the string as a solution. Now, seems an (all but obvious) way to improve the speed of getting through a big string.

Ultimately, I guess I'll probably look at cooking something up in RealBasic and launching that from my projector. It'd be nice to make it work natively in Lingo though.
I'd be surprised if PregEx wasn't fast enough. It's certainly as fast or faster than anything done in RB.
