Malte, Here is a quick example of what binary search can do. It's a bit of work to maintain the sorted data, but the speed is impressive if you have very large data. If you are not familiar with binary search (forgive me if you are), it is very intuitive -- it searches like you might sear

Thank you all. I ended up creating a new array anduse repeat for each key. Brian, I would be very much interested in the binary method on sorted data. Cheers, Malte ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this

Malte, Beyond the ideas already presented, the only thing I can think of - and this would be a bit of work - is that if there are particular fields you know you will want to filter on, you could maintain a *sorted* copy of dgdata. For example, if you had a copy of dgdata sorted by name, y

Malte- Here's my attempt. Putting the results into a variable instead of an array element seems to shave about 25% off the total run time. I'm assuming you want the results here rather than just a count - doing a total count is quite a bit faster than accumulating the actual hits. on mouseUp

Malte, using your original handler I was getting an approx time of 22ms. Creating a new array instead of deleting the variable (see below) gives me an approx time of 7ms. Will that work for you? It's very significantly faster. Powerbook G4 PPC 1.67ghz Bernard on mouseUp local testarray,tp

Hey all, I just try to implement a life search on a datagrid. I was doing this with the dgtext property. However this turns out to be too slow on elder machines if there are many records (30k +) Now I am trying to instead of setting the dgtext, to work with the dgdata. This could speed up
