Alex, thanks, this is very helpful
1) put x into aFilteredPlayListIndex[z]
(there's no need to replicate all the data when the array will continue to
exist, just keep the indices you want).
awesome… I think I could increment the z from 1 up and then my clickline
number will still work.
2) "create an in-memory SQLite Database."
this is news! Where do we find docs on this? right now the SQLite data base is
in
specialFolderPath("documents")/jnanam.sqlite
how do you "create in memory?

Plan A. use your database
Plan B. create an in-memory SQLite database.
Plan C. use an array, kind of like you are doing.
And *only* if there are good reasons for not doing Plans A or B, then :
C1. Instead of
repeat for each key x in aPlaylist
repeat for each key y in aPlayList[x]
do
repeat for each key x in aPlaylist
repeat for each element ey in aPlayList[x]
Also, instead of
put aPlayList[x] into aFilteredPlayList[z]
do
put x into aFilteredPlayListIndex[z]
(there's no need to replicate all the data when the array will continue to
exist, just keep the indices you want).
C2. Did you really mean "check *all* columns in the array" ?
Should it not be "check all the 'properties' columns" ?
If so - that's another reason to use a/the database :-)
C3. Create an 'allproperties' column ?
There's probably a fast/easy way to do that either in the database, or as
you extract from it - but a database expert would have to tell us how to do
that.
Alternatively, when you extract, just do
repeat for each key x in aPlayList
repeat for each item y in thePropertyColumns
put aPlayList[x][y] & SPACE after aPlayList[x]["allproperties"]
end repeat
end repeat
or, delay this until first search :
repeat for each key x in aPlayList
if aPlayList[x]["allproperties"] is empty then
repeat for each item y in thePropertyColumns
put aPlayList[x][y] & SPACE after aPlayList[x]["allproperties"]
end repeat
if aPlayList[x]["allproperties"] is empty then -- so that subsequent
searches never rebuild this
put SPACE into aPlayList[x]["allproperties"]
end if
end if
if aPlayList[x]["allproperties"] contains pFilterPattern then
put x & CR after z
end if
end repeat
