Had to remove the color change as you can't set that attribute- as Michael

Actually you can. Another thing that slows down a script is using a
counter variable in a repeat loop. Sometimes you have to, but if
possible use the "repeat for each" structure, which is much faster.
I didn't actually test this so you may need to adjust it, but this
handler only hits the field to twice and avoids a counter. Using
htmlText allows you to color the lines without accessing the field
repeatedly. It should be fast enough that you don't need to have any
visual progress indicators; using "repeat for each" can typically
process thousands of lines in a few milliseconds.
on mouseUp
put fld "All" into allEntries
put fld "Rural" into ruralEntries
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat for each line tLine in allEntries
put tLine into tCurLine
if cr & (item 1 of tCurLine) & tab is in cr & ruralEntries then
put "Rural" into item 4 of tCurLine
put "<p><font color=#FF0000>" & tCurLine & "</font></p>"
after tNewList
else
put "-" into item 4 of tCurLine
put "<p>" & tCurLine & "</p>" after tNewList
end if
end repeat
set the htmlText of fld "All" to tNewList
end mouseUp
