Jacque,
Have you tried
put the keys of sDictFile into tCorrWdList
repeat for each line I in pList
if I is among the lines of tCorrWdList then
put I & cr after tCheckedList
else
put I & cr after tNonWords
end if
end repeat
I just wonder if there is some overhead with checking the array on each
iteration.
But like you say, it may not be the repeat loop at all.

In my Boggle game I have an array containing dictionary words as keys, split as
set, so all values are "true". I need to compare those keys with a list of user
words and get back a list of good words and a list of illegal words.
The loop takes forever. Here it is (sDictFile is a script local):
repeat for each line l in pList -- pList is the user word list
if sDictFile[l] = true then put l & cr after tCheckedList
else put l & cr after tNonWords
wait 0 with messages -- prevent ANRs
end repeat
I added the wait because my Android phone was putting up an "app not
responding" warning while the loop was running (or just after, hard to tell.)
The loop should be much faster than that. When I added some timing checks
though, the timer says the loop takes between 0 and 1 millisecond, and yet the
wait on screen remains.
With a 3-word user list, the loop takes 4 seconds. With an 8 word user list the
loop takes 6 seconds. The more user words, the longer the wait.
Even stranger: on my cheapo Android tablet with 4 megs of RAM running Android 9
the response is nearly instantaneous, even if the user list has 200+ words. On
my Pixel phone with 8 megs of RAM and Android 12 the response is slow enough to
trigger the ANR with only 3 words. I'm building for ARM 64.
I've tried any number of workarounds without luck, on both LC 9.6.6 and LC
10.0.0. Any ideas? I have a feeling it isn't the script per se, it's something
else.
