Re: Speed testing: Fastest search method

Hugh, The condition you've chosen for deciding whether to delete the line is whether or not the line is empty. So in method 2, replacing those lines by "" has no effect on the data. That is, I think, an inadequate benchmark. The primary cost you would encounter in the real case with method 2

Hi Hugh, Sorry - I'll be more assertive and simplistic in my description - at a slight risk of over-stating the case. No, the second variable method does definitely uses extra memory. What I was saying was that that can be unimportant, because extra memory "simply" means that your OS has to

Method 2 doesn't have the filter, I am guessing the lack is a typo? Also, I'd be interested in your results with the repeat for each method that modifies tvar with the direct line deletion, though thinking about it, (since i'm awake now) it wouldn't work unless it was modified. Something like..
