Not that it necessarily matters for your application, but your
version will miss a match if it's preceded or followed by punctuation
-- "cat." "(dinosaur)" etc.
By an unnecessary process of elimination, I arrived at just about
exactly the same simple solution as you did in my last attempt, but
dealing with punctuation detracts (inevitably, as far as I can see)
from the speed.
And we didn't even consider plurals!
Best,

The last one in the list is the one I thought I had to replace with
something faster. It is simply this:
repeat for each line l in tFiles
put url ("file:" & l) into tText
repeat for each word w in pWords
put w is among the words of tText into tMatch
if tMatch = false then exit repeat
end repeat
if tMatch then put l & cr after tList
end repeat
And that is what surprised me -- that no tinkering with arrays, or
matchtext, or anything else is faster than the most straightforward
Revolution syntax. I was thinking this would take a long time, but
in fact it is the fastest way to do it (that I've seen so far,
anyway.) We've mentioned this on the list before, but I guess I
need to be hit on the head with the facts occasionally, just to
remind me how good we've got it.
Surprise. Rev wins out again.
