Greetings! I am trying to set the tabStops to fit the data a field. The
script below works great! However, ask it to process a few thousand lines with
10 or so columns, and you'll have time to get a cup of coffee! Any ideas on
how to speed this up? Maybe there is some magical property I don't about?
Thanks in advance,
-Dan
on formatData
set the itemDel to tab
put "" into theTabs
put 0 into l
repeat for each line tLine in fld "myField"
add 1 to l
put 0 into i
repeat for each item tItem in tLine
add 1 to i
if the formattedWidth of item i of line l of fld "myField" > item i of
theTabs then
put the formattedWidth of item i of line l of fld "myField" into item i
of theTabs
end if
end repeat
end repeat
put "" into fTabs
put 0 into i
put 0 into tTotal
repeat for each item tItem in theTabs
add 1 to i
add tItem+20 to tTotal
put tTotal into item i of fTabs
end repeat
replace tab with "," in fTabs
set the tabStops of fld "myField" to fTabs
end formatData
