In my test I was getting about 160 milliseconds for last char, but about 200 milliseconds for char -1. Oddly enough, my items were 4 chars long, and char 4 took about 175 milliseconds. I also tried the test with much larger strings several hundred k characters long, and the -1 vs. last delta holds there as well. I know I sound like a broken record, but I dearly look forward to the day when I can simply write a language module so that "char -1" transparently becomes "the last char" behind the scenes. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
