Funny... I guess quick and dirty was quickest - was it dirtiest?
I might try playing with a switch control structure to see if that is faster, but in the past I have found if-then to be a little faster. I tried conjoining the components of the if-then statements with a bunch of 'or's and also by using 'and' with 'is in' instead of 'is not in'... In both cases, it was like 2 or 3 milliseconds slower than the spread-out version. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Chatonet Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 5:08 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: NPR puzzle Hi Jonathan, You end up with my quick and dirty solution... Just a word: else is not necessary in this case since you run a next repeat if the condition is verified ;-) Le 20 juil. 05 à 22:48, Lynch, Jonathan a écrit : > I get a small increase in speed by abandoning the inner loop, allowing > the script to just go to the next word when there is not a match.
