Hello Again,
After trying several of the excellent suggestions from all you
revolutionaries, I realized I hadn't quite explained myself... go
figure. So here is another attempt to explain what I am after.
I am actually after "low" ASCII and "High" ASCII characters that my
have snuck into a text file. So I need to look at every character,
but I don't need to count every character. I just want the ones that
have ASCII values below 32 and above 255 and that are not in a small
set of allowed control characters.
Based on the suggestions I got on the other thread, I came up with
the following that produces the results I am after. SPEED is
critical here, since the files I am scanning maybe many mbs. I am
wondering if any of you can improve on the design. I feel the need,
the need for SPEED. :>)
put field 1 into tString
put "10 11 12 29" into charsToIgnore
REPEAT for each char tChar in tString
put charToNum(tChar) into tASCII
IF (tASCII < 31 OR tASCII > 255) THEN
IF tASCII is not among the words of charsToIgnore THEN
add 1 to tCounts[tASCII]
END IF
END IF
END REPEAT
put the keys of tCounts into tChars
sort lines of tChars numeric
REPEAT for each line thisLine in tChars
put thisLine & TAB & tCounts[thisLine] & Return after newList
END REPEAT
put newList into field "Chars"
Thanks in Advance
Todd
