an alternative approach would be to write your string once-off to a sequential file, then do READBLK's of one char in a loop...
READBLK's work at an amazing rate -----Original Message----- From: Nick Cipollina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 15 September, 2004 2:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] [UV] Processing a string What is the fastest way to process a long string byte by byte. I want to know if there is a faster way to do the following: STR.VAR = "Some really really long string that has lots and lots of characters for test processing." MAX.STR = LEN(STR.VAR) FOR X = 1 TO MAX.STR VAR = STR.VAR[X,1] do stuff with VAR here ..... NEXT X Thanks in advance.
