I just did an exact duplicate test in Director using the textCruncher Xtra where the same 400 kbyt text doc took 2 ticks to build my array. It also handle any combination of characters as the text to find. I will look into "offset()" to see if I can get both things working the way I want it. When I did this in Realbasic I got almost the same results as textCruncher Xtra. I believe that all it is is part of the string class in C++ being added as an Xtra, in Director. I hope I can build this fast parsing system becuse I like what I have seen so far in RR.

Using offset() should have mc time. Why squared?
