Just a warning / reminder :Anyway, I experimented with a customproperty set created to contain 500,000 elements - each element contains like 7 words. Only the very last element contains the word "nonstandard"
So far, the following script is fastest:
on mouseUp put the milliseconds into M put field "search text" into ST put the customproperties of field "theData" into myArray repeat for each element E in myArray if matchchunk(E,ST) = true then put E into field output exit repeat end if end repeat put the milliseconds into M2 put (M2 - M)/1000 into field "feedback" end mouseUp
repeat for each element E in myArray
will process each and every element of the array - but it will do it in internal (hash value) order. So when you say "only the very last element contains ...", you need to be aware that they are not being looked at in the order you might think - i.e. the one containing that word may be looked at much earlier because of the hashing of the key values.
So in your original problem statement, you said (something like) "and find the first one that contains" - "first" has a fairly loose meaning in the context of an array .... if order is crucial to you, you may need to take the keys of the array, sort that, and then access the elements by lookup - this will be much, much slower.
