This is incredible...it took 1 second !!
Now I must really play around with "repeat for each" since I am working with large data sets.
thank you very much

Hi Glen,
I reckon you should be able to process all 10000 lines in one go, without to much delay.
Re-writing your fireBig handler to use "repeat for each" which is MUCH faster than "repeat with":
on firebig put long time into fld sb1 put line 1 to 10000 of fld "out" into fbtemp1 put empty into sbTime1 repeat for each line L in fbTemp1 get word 1 to 2 of L convert it to seconds put it & cr after sbtime1 end repeat put long time into fld eb1 end firebig
I would be interested to see how long this takes.

I tried the following experiment.snip
I have a field with 10000 lines and I want to convert the first word to seconds
Method 1
Break the 10000 lines into 5 separate loops. The start time and end time was recorded for each loop - ie when a loop completed the next loop started.
TIME TO PROCESS 21 seconds
Method 2 is the same script but with fire# commented out (firebig is the only loop)
TIME TO PROCESS 1 minute 27 seconds
This is a substantial difference...can anyone give me some pointers on how I should optimize repeat loops. I thought that doing the one big loop should be as fast as the multiple loops?
on mouseUp fireUpdate end mouseUp
on fireUpdate fire1 fire2 fire3 fire4 fire5 --firebig end fireUpdate
on fire1 put long time into fld s1 put line 1 to 2000 of fld "out" into ftemp1 repeat with l = 1 to 2000 get word 1 of line l of ftemp1 && word 2 of line l of ftemp1 convert it to seconds put it & cr after stime1 end repeat put long time into fld e1 end fire1
on firebig put long time into fld sb1 put line 1 to 10000 of fld "out" into fbtemp1 repeat with l = 1 to 10000 get word 1 of line l of ftemp1 && word 2 of line l of fbtemp1 convert it to seconds put it & cr after sbtime1 end repeat put long time into fld eb1 end firebig
