This is no longer true, if it ever was. > The following two statements run at exactly the same speed: don't know if anyone is interested, but in the same vein, I've been living for years with the idea that variables organized as items were faster to process than variables organized as words, but lately I discovered that wordoffset is actually faster than itemoffset . Examples (tested on my old PC under XP with Rev 2.5) : put "toto tata titi tete" into myVar put the milliseconds into tt repeat 100000 times if wordoffset("tete",ref) > 0 then end if end repeat put the milliseconds - tt -- returns a value between 103 and 110 put "toto,tata,titi,tete" into myVar put the milliseconds into tt repeat 100000 times if itemoffset("tete",ref) > 0 then end if end repeat put the milliseconds - tt -- returns a value between 130 and 136 wordoffset seems to be 15 to 20% faster, which is a lot IMHO...
