OK, slight modification of Peter's script:
on mouseUp
local allEntries, ruralEntries, theStart
put the seconds into theStart -- used to check the timing
put fld "All" into allEntries
put fld "Rural" into ruralEntries
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in allEntries -- there are 1247
lines
if cr & (item 1 of line x of allEntries) & tab is in ruralEntries
then
put "Rural" into item 4 of line x of field "All"
set the textColor of line x of field "All" to "red"
next repeat -- I had "end repeat" before.
else
put "-" into item 4 of line x of field "All"
end if
end repeat
put the seconds - theStart & return after field "TheTime" -- get elapsed
time
end mouseUp
This script checks the variable and alters the field content & line color.
This took 432 seconds to complete.
Then I changed it to alter the contents of the variable.
Had to remove the color change as you can't set that attribute- as Michael
predicted.
put "Rural" into item 4 of line x of allEntries
And then put the variable into the field at the end:
put allEntries into field "All"
This took 1 second to complete.
I'll write a separate script to change the line color in the field.
Thanks all.
