How about:
replace " " with return in myText
sort lines of myText descending numeric by the number of chars of each
put line 1 of myText
I think this might be faster and is definitely shorter, and stays more
binary (ask Chipp).

Hi list,
Does anyone have some very fast code to find the longest word
(number of chars) in a text ?
Here's what I have :
replace " " with cr in myText
put "" into temp
set itemdelimiter to tab
repeat for each line j in myText
put j & tab & number of chars of j & cr after temp
end repeat
sort temp descending numeric by item 2 of each
put item 1 of temp into longest_word
Is there anything faster ?
Best,
JB
