Thanks for the feedback. I did not know about revAvailableHandlers.
Responding to Mark's comment about what I am trying to do. I tried the
MasterLibrary on 7.x and the performance was terrible. I decided to
change the implementation to create an index of pointers to the meta
data around the start and end of each code block. The previous method
was to scan for the elements as needed. Somehow I got it into my head
that it was related to the way I was doing pattern matching when trying
to parse the meta data. I was using a series of matchText statements
with fairly simple patterns. I thought that I would try and reduce the
number of matchTexts by using a more complicated regexp. My post was a
request for help regarding that regexp. As it turns out, that this
whole adventure could have been avoided if I had better understood the
performance implications of the different repeat forms.
That all said. Are you guys aware of any performance analysis tools
for livecode developers? I am wondering if it would be reasonable to
create a development mode within the engine that would gather
information that would help the developer better understand the behavior
of the app.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Mike

Depends maybe on what you're trying to do. If you're looking for a
list of handlers in a script, here's what I use:
function getHandlersList pScript
local tHandlers
filter pScript with "end*"
repeat for each line tLine in pScript
put word 2 of tLine & cr after tHandlers
end repeat
return tHandlers
end getHandlersList
One more way:
get the revAvailableHandlers of tSomeObject
