Actually you can. Another thing that slows down a script is using a counter variable in a repeat loop. Sometimes you have to, but if possible use the "repeat for each" structure, which is much faster. I didn't actually test this so you may need to adjust it, but this handler only hits the field to twice and avoids a counter. Using htmlText allows you to color the lines without accessing the field repeatedly. It should be fast enough that you don't need to have any visual progress indicators; using "repeat for each" can typically process thousands of lines in a few milliseconds. on mouseUp put fld "All" into allEntries put fld "Rural" into ruralEntries set the itemDelimiter to tab repeat for each line tLine in allEntries put tLine into tCurLine if cr & (item 1 of tCurLine) & tab is in cr & ruralEntries then put "Rural" into item 4 of tCurLine put "<p><font color=#FF0000>" & tCurLine & "</font></p>" after tNewList else put "-" into item 4 of tCurLine put "<p>" & tCurLine & "</p>" after tNewList end if end repeat set the htmlText of fld "All" to tNewList end mouseUp -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
