Jon,
Unless I am not understanding your suggestion, that is the method
used to start off this thread.

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.
