Re: [Gambas-user] String[].Find finds nothing
Thank you all for your help. Now, my search is really fast. For anyone having similar problems: 1. My source was a huge unsorted JSON file. I converted it to a much smaller sorted text file. So, reading it into a String array, the array is already sorted. 2. String[].Find() indeed works with Mode=gb.Like=4. It's faster than doing the For...Next work yourself. 3. But gb.Like doesn't mean it finds anything matching your first characters, case insensitive. You have to use 'i = MyStringArray.Find(SearchString & "*", gb.Like, 0).

It can be. Use the gb.Like comparison mode, ie:
String[].Find("Chr*", gb.Like)

Re: [Gambas-user] String[].Find finds nothing
Btw. that is not exactly heuristic approach (more like plain algorithmic), because I don't know statistical properties of you array. IE what we can assume. Now the index is always divided by two, but if you know how the distribution of the data, you may make much more effective guesses depending on what you will find with the current index.

Re: [Gambas-user] String[].Find finds nothing
This works only for sorted array. Example you could take the maximum index of your array, divide it by two and look which side of the array the searched string could be. Let's say you have array of 1000 elements and you are looking for "Chr". If sMyArray[500] begins with "M", then you should look only first half of the array. Or you could narrow the possibilities even more by dividing the 500 by two. Now if sMyArray[250] begins with "B", you know you just have to search between indexes 250 - 500, or narrow it even further. I hope you got the idea.

You can make the code smaller by using the optional Mode parameter to
String[].Find() (cf. the docs [1]). The following will work as you wanted:
Dim aNames As New String[]
aNames.Add("Anna")
aNames.Add("Berta")
aNames.Add("Christa")
aNames.Add("Dora")
Print aNames.Find("Chr*", gb.Like)
' will print 2
but it will probably make the code slower because the gb.Like mode makes the
Find() operation significantly more complex. I would recommend you test it
out though. Also let me say that Gambas can't perform wonders. Just because
you call a single built-in function doesn't make the operation fast. If your
array is huge and unsorted, all searches will be slow. In fact, the Find()
method is implemented as a For-Next loop (in C, admittedly).

Wiki says: "Returns the position of the first occurrence of Value in the array." You must search for a Value of the array. In your array there isn't a Value "Chr", that is what you search, so always returns -1 Best Regars 2017-05-10 18:57 GMT+02:00 Matti : > I tried to search an array with the 'Find' function instead of > 'For...Next' and 'InStr'. > > The wiki says: > "String[].Find (gb) > Function Find ( Value As String [ , Mode As Integer, Start As Integer ] ) > As Integer > Returns the position of the first occurrence of Value in the array. > If Value cannot be found, -1 is returned." > > But I can do what I want, I always get '-1'.

I tried to search an array with the 'Find' function instead of 'For...Next' and 'InStr'. The wiki says: "String[].Find (gb) Function Find ( Value As String [ , Mode As Integer, Start As Integer ] ) As Integer Returns the position of the first occurrence of Value in the array. If Value cannot be found, -1 is returned." But I can do what I want, I always get '-1'. No positive result ever. Attached is a tiny project that should show this behaviour. Where is my mistake?
