Yeah, I'd never heard of it either. Now I can sound smart. :)
Largely academic at this point but there is a variation to the
array solution that Jacque and I offered which does it all in one repeat
loop:
put tlist1& cr& tlist2 into tlist3
repeat with x=1 to the number of lines in tlist3
if line x of tlist3 is among the keys of tarray then
delete variable tarray[line x of tlist3]
else
put true into tarray[line x of tlist3]
end if
end repeat
Use "repeat for each" instead of a counter. I don't have the benchmarks,
but it is somewhere between a gazillion and a bazillion times faster.
I've become a little compulsive about it, since except for the very
shortest of lists, the speed difference is so great.
