I must have missed a thread, somewhere. That would be the thread on how LC handles loops.
To recap, doing this sort using an sqlite database (insert the values into a table, then sort the table), was taking me almost 40 seconds. Then Pete chimed in and had it working in a couple hundred milliseconds. The difference? Pete was using a loop of the form repeat for each line tLine in theData and I was doing a repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in tData So, is there some more in-depth discussion of loop forms in LC, somewhere? I learned something new, today, because 300x faster is a little bit important. On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 9:35 PM, Kay C Lan <lan.kc.macm...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 3:04 AM, J.
