Hey all,

I just try to implement a life search on a datagrid. I was doing this with the dgtext property. However this turns out to be too slow on elder machines if there are many records (30k +) Now I am trying to instead of setting the dgtext, to work with the dgdata. This could speed up the whole process quite a lot, as the data would not need to be turned into an array again by the data grid. Problem: arrays can not be filtered. So what I would like to do is find the quickest script that simulates array filtering in n dimensions if at any rate possible. My clumsy first try looks like this. This only "filters" the second level yet, so turning this into a function for n-levels deep would be ideal. :)

on mouseUp
   local testarray,tprocess,test
   repeat with i=1 to 30000
      put any item of "meier,müller,john,doe" into testarray[i]["name"]
   end repeat
   answer the number of lines of the keys of testarray
   put the millisecs into test
   put the keys of testarray into tprocess
   repeat for each line theLine in tprocess
      if testarray[theline]["name"]="john" then
         delete variable testarray[theline]
      end if
   end repeat
answer the number of lines of the keys of testarray&cr&the millisecs-test
end mouseUp

This runs in 31 ms on my machine (Intel MacBook first gen, 2.16 GHz). I would like to have this quicker if possible. Also I´d like the runtime on your machines, especially Macs pre Intel era.

Any thoughts highly appreciated.

All the best,
