if you put in a text with 100 or so paragraphs:
I imagine that st.Paragraph(i) is currently starting its search
from the beginning each time -- solving that could be tricky, as
caches can easily get outdated when you have mutable objects like
these. But, maybe a simple solution would be to add a new method,
st.Paragraphs, that returns all the paragraphs at once in an array.
Well, I have a similar code snippet retrieving StyleRuns instead of
Paragraphs
and it didn't show the same problems
I had this same trouble a couple of months ago ( http://
support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2005-11/
msg00206.html ) and temporarily gave up on messing with it.
But this thread made me go back, with my extra couple of months RB
experience, and rewrite my methods -- skipping the Paragraph class
and instead using InStr to find line endings. My benchmarking
software reports that it is a gazillion times faster, and it only
took me about 1/2 hour -- and I take the "rapid" out of "rapid
application development".
So I think you should try that.
