Hi again,
Right. This solution is not the dirtiest :-)
The reason is syntactic: the formulation gives up immediately if the
first 2 chars do not match a symbol.

Funny...
I guess quick and dirty was quickest - was it dirtiest?
I might try playing with a switch control structure to see if that
is faster, but in the past I have found if-then to be a little faster.
I tried conjoining the components of the if-then statements with a
bunch of 'or's and also by using 'and' with 'is in' instead of 'is
not in'...
In both cases, it was like 2 or 3 milliseconds slower than the
spread-out version.

Hi Jonathan,
You end up with my quick and dirty solution...
Just a word: else is not necessary in this case since you run a next
repeat if the condition is verified ;-)

I get a small increase in speed by abandoning the inner loop,
allowing
the script to just go to the next word when there is not a match.
I am
running a bunch of other programs on my computer right now, so my
speed
is compromised. Using Ro's script, I clocked at 75 milliseconds.
Modifying his script as shown below, I improved to 64 milliseconds:
on mouseUp
put the milliseconds into M
put fld "W" into W
put fld "E" into E
repeat for each line L in W
if char 1 to 2 of L is not in E then
next repeat
else if char 3 to 4 of L is not in E then
next repeat
else if char 5 to 6 of L is not in E then
next repeat
else if char 7 to 8 of L is not in E then
next repeat
else if char 9 to 10 of L is not in E then
next repeat
end if
put L & linefeed after F
end repeat
put the milliseconds-M into field "computation time"
put F into field "output"
end mouseUp

Eric Chatonet.
