You're welcome, Glen. So now I've tried optimizing for speed and legibility.
Would you check the timing for your data, please, and report again?
Invoke it like this:
digest tLines, tGroupSize, tResult
Any questions?
-- Dick
<postScript>
command digest @pLines, pGroupSize, @rResult
local tLineNumber, tArray, tMin, tMax
repeat for each line tLine in pLines
-- note: create tArray[ <item 2> ] = <item 1 for the first occurrence of
item 2 in the group>
if item 2 of tLine is not among the keys of tArray then
put item 1 of tLine into tArray[ item 2 of tLine ]
end if
add 1 to tLineNumber
if tLineNumber is pGroupSize then
put item 1 of the extents of tArray into tMin
put item 2 of the extents of tArray into tMax
put tArray[ tMin ] & tab & tMin & cr & tArray[ tMax ] & tab & tMax &
cr after rResult
put empty into tArray
put 0 into tLineNumber
end if
end repeat
end digest
</postScript>
