Hi, Neville. You may find a worthwhile improvement in speed if you avoid
referring to the Unicode lines by their line numbers (as in "line k of fff").
Here's a way:
function findLineNumbersInUnicode pLinesToFind, tLinesToSearch -- returns a
comma-delimited list of the line numbers of lines that contain any of the lines
to find
local tRegExp, tLineNumber, tLineNumbers
repeat for each line tLineToFind in pLinesToFind
put "(^[0-9-]*\t" & tLineToFind & ")" into tRegExp
put 0 into tLineNumber
repeat for each line tLine in tLinesToSearch
add 1 to tLineNumber
if matchChunk(tLine, tRegExp) then
put tLineNumber & comma after tLineNumbers
end if
end repeat
end repeat
return char 1 to -2 of tLineNumbers
end findLineNumbersInUnicode
If you try the idea, please share your test results.
