Bill, Two quick "speed-up" suggestions:
(1) Use "repeat for each" instead for "repeat with" - it is a lot faster, if you make Rev increment a counter: put 0 into tCounter repeat for each line tLine in field "Directory" add 1 to tCounter if (item 1 of tLine) & " " & (item 2 of tLine) <> vName then (etc.) (2) Don't put the progress into a field (or if you do, don't do it for each loop - do it every 10 or 100 loops) - this slows things down quite a bit. To do things every 100 loops, you can use the 'mod' function: if (tCounter mod 100) = 0 then put tCounter into field "Records" Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Vlahos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 11:03 AM Subject: Is there a faster way... > I want to analyze a text log file.
