Yves When you say that would be slow, are you using the <repeat for each> construct for the loop? As discussed in other threads, it is much faster than <repeat with i = 1 to N> or whatever.
I have very fast Split and Join XFCNs for column separation and joining under Hypercard but they are all history now. cheers David On Wednesday, January 16, 2002, at 08:36 , yves COPPE wrote: >> function extractItem pFieldName, pItemNumber >> set the itemDelimiter to TAB # TAB is a constant in the language >> return item pItemNumber of fld pFieldName >> end extractItem >> >> hope that helps.. >> >> - > > > So you extract the item pItemNumber of line 1 of fld pFieldName > > I'd like to extract the items pItemNumber of all the lines of fld > pFieldName > you can write a loop, but it is slow when the fld has many lines > > thanks. > -- _______________________________________________ > use-revolution mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
