I think I found the tests/discussions you are referring to. "Extracting a column" circa Dec 10, 2007. Where Richard did a comparison speed test between "split" versus "repeat for each". Interesting! What you are doing looks fine. The speed depends on a few factors, which Richard Gaskin ve

You could try keeping a return-delimited list of all the unique individuals in a script local variable "idList", so you could then use a repeat loop: repeat for each line L in idList if census[L,"city"] is "Atlanta" and census[L,"team"] is "Red Sox" then put L & cr after tResults end rep

Shari, Why are you writing off using a database? I think you would find that for the amount of data you have and the way it's organized, it's going to be MUCH faster than anything you can do with arrays and scripts. For example to select all the Red Sox fans born in 1960 you would write: SE
