How about loading a string with the numbers from one list, represented
as strings (1 ==> "001", etc) appended and separated by spaces or commas.
Then run through the second number list searching for each number in the
above string?
Hugely clunky, due to Rev's sloth, but it might be faster.
I *@(*%# hate it when one has to jump through these kinds of hoops to
make something work fast enough. I have better things to do with my
time. Sigh.

Could you make use of the split command somehow? You would have to
format your lists a little differently, but if you did it right and
specified a primary and secondary delimiter, you might be able to get
quick results and still take advantage of the intersect command.
Anyway, just another idea.

Eric,
Yes, I looked at the intersect command, but it performs the action
on the keys not the data from a list. I would have to create an
array element for each integer in the list with the integer as the
key. Sounded like two loops that would run even slower than my
example:
repeat for each item theItem in list1
put empty into myArray1[theItem]
end repeat
repeat for each item theItem in list2
put empty into myArray2[theItem]
end repeat
intersect myArray1 with myArray2
if the keys of myArray1 is empty then get false else get true
In actual practice, the above example runs 3 times slower than the
below example for the sample data shown.
However, knowing that Rev had such a command for the keys, I thought
perhaps someone knew of a more clever way to use it, or maybe there
was another way to intersect data.
