Richard, et al: In fact, if you later find you need to add any other info at all (such as directives on what to do with the uncompressed files -- run them in an app, leave 'em be, etc.) you can just add another property or property array to the stack file, and you never need to worry about breaking your format.

Speed
Title: Speed I have a question about optimization. I am helping a local candidate with their database. It is a large county election database which I have imported into a field within Rev. This is a voter database in which we would like to identify a single addresses for all voters within a given households so that we do not have to send multiple letters to individual voters within the same household. This makes a big difference in mailing costs. I found that my original program runs prohibitively slowly. But I find when I break up the data into smaller blocks, things run much more rapidly. For example I use the following code: repeat with k = 0 to 8 put line k*1000 to (k+1)*1000+1 of tField into temp put identifyUniqueAddresses(temp) into a[k] end repeat so that the data in the variable tField is broken up into 9 chunks of 1000 lines each. Later I reassemble the results from the array, a[k]. If instead I try to run the whole field at once using: identifyUniqueAddressess(tField) I would have to wait all day for the data in tField to process. (I have not found a was to use: repeat for each line tLine in tField I have to be able to discover whether *successive* lines in the sorted data share the same address.) Now I'm sure my handler, identifyUniqueAddresess, is not the most efficient code, but my question is this: Why does the handler run so much more rapidly working on several smaller chunks which are later reassembled rather than all at once? I suspect the problem may be successively pulling up lines of text from a very long list of lines. Would it help if I first put the lines into an array and then worked with the array? Is there an optimizer out there? Gentlemen and gentle ladies, start your engines. -- Jim Hurley
Re: Passing contents of a variable to a regular expression
Sannyasin, Thanks for the kudos. Here's what you can do - you can simply make the regular expression into a variable. Keep in mind that you may actually have *two* identifiers (and open paren and a close paren in this case), so you'll either need two preferences, or one preference that could be two characters long. Also, I noted that your matchText function assumes you have a local variable tDeletion that was not declared in your posted code, so I added it. on cleanUpEditedOriginal local tDeletion put fld deleteDel of stack prefs into lDeleteDel if (length(lDeleteDel) 2) or (length(lDeleteDel = 0) then answer Bad Delimiter Length exit cleanUpEditedOriginal else if length(lDeleteDel) = 2 then put char 1 of lDeleteDel into tOpenDel put char 2 of lDeleteDel into tCloseDel else put lDeleteDel into tOpenDel put lDeleteDel into tCloseDel end if end if put fld original into jai put (\ tOpenDel .*? \ tCloseDel ) into regEx repeat until tToggle = 1 if matchtext (jai,regEx,tDeletion) then replace tDeletion with in jai else put 1 into tToggle end if end repeat replacewith in jai put jai into fld clean end cleanUpEditedOriginal Note that not all characters need to be escaped with a \. So you'd need to adjust the code to optionally escape the characters that need to be escaped, and leave alone the ones that don't.

Re: Speed
On Wednesday, Sep 18, 2002, at 10:37 Australia/Sydney, Jim Hurley wrote: I have a question about optimization. Jim Two answers. Yes, your revised code runs faster because you are breaking it into chunks (I assume in both instances you are dealing with a variable and not a field). Using an array structure may be faster if you find a sensible way to do it. However, repeat for each will work for you, so long as you "remember" the last line, discarding it for the new one only when it no longer matches. Practically any additional processing you do during the repeat for each loop will be negligible in its time cost compared with indexing through with a variable, so you can even handle multiple lines this way, or extract a block comprising one multi-line address each time. regards David I am helping a local candidate with their database.
