Thanks for the reply. Very much appreciated. Mr. Smith's method seems to be
very neat and I will try to implement that. I needed the count method because a
virtual List Control that displays the lexicon needs to know number of entries
in advance.
Right now I am getting the count using a slightly improved brute force:
int GetNumEntries()
{
// initial guess
int high = 10000, low = 0, mid = (high + low)/2;
while ( high - low > 1 ) {
pModule->setPosition(sword::TOP); pModule->increment(mid);
if( pModule->Error() ) high = mid;
else low = mid;
mid = (high + low)/2;
}
return high;
}
I am not sure what are the dangers in doing this (if any).
