The code will not work if you have htmltext containing the text "color=" like: <p>To set the color you can use color="#fa3b42"</p>
and you can also shave off some milliseconds in the styledText version by using foreach: … repeat for each key aKey in tTextA # Check if first run has textcolor set put (tTextA[aKey]["runs"][1]["style"]["textcolor"] is empty) \ into tTextA[aKey]["style"]["hidden"] end repeat … For me that is always faster than your clever 'offset("color="…' version. It is a bit strange though that the foreach always seams to be faster. If we try to sum an array with 100 000 element like: put 100000 into tNum # Create array with random numbers repeat with i = 1 to tNum put random(100) into tData[i] end repeat # Sum array by looping with index put the long seconds into tStart repeat with i = 1 to tNum add tData[i] to tSum end repeat put the long seconds - tStart into tTime1 #Sum array by using foreach put the long seconds into tStart repeat for each key aKey in tData add tData[aKey] to tSum2 end repeat put the long seconds - tStart into tTime2 put tTime1 , tTime2, " ratio : " & tTime1 / tTime2 You will see that the second code is almost three times faster than the first one. <Lesson>If it isn’t important that you process an indexed array in order foreach is always faster!</lesson> Happy coding! :-Håkan On 1 Dec 2018, 15:40 +0100, How to use LiveCode , wrote: > > if offset("color=",L)>0 then put "<p" & L after s > else put "<p hidden" & L after s _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
