Hi Florian, do you mean very large lists, or the list you specified (I don't consider 2000 items a very large list). A while ago I did a program, where we had a list containing approx. 100.000 entries, each of which was another list of up to 99 items. If you keep your scripts tuned and do some indexed lookups, it is even relatively fast. (slow is deleteing stuff from the middle of the list, so in my case it turned out, that flagging an item as 'deleted' was a better solution)... But anyway, if you need lots of searching and sorting, you may be better off with a database (like Valentina <http://www.paradigmasoft.com/> -- Andy Fuchs -- silent movie media -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.silent-movie-media.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
