I don’t see how that would be faster. You are adding string processing
overhead, not reducing it. Arrays work well because you already have an index
of sorts (the keys of the array).

Thank Dick
I will try your idea - it may need a small mod, see below. I will probably post
some timings later if people are still interested in this thread.
Mark’s method of converting to an array of lines to gain random access to the
lines has given me at least a 50-fold increase in speed in m
