Thanks, Richard, I'll try that, and do some timing and will let you know (here) which seems to be the best (for this particular set -- I'll have to check the code which creates the set to see how I decided when to add a return instead of a simple space (I initially wrote this years ago just after my...

Simon, at present they are simply words delimited by spaces, sometimes with several spaces or returns for readability when browsing with my eyes.

Oops, sorry Richard, I didn't see before that the dictionary answered my question about a variable without specified keys.

Hi, Simon, I've never used lineOffset or filter. The words are in a single line, so, if my reading of the dictionary is correct neither is applicable as the variable stands now. Perhaps wordOffset? Suggestions how to change the structure of the variable so either lineOffset or filter could be used f...

I have a variable that contains about 80,000 words (whole numbers in ascending order). I assume that some sort of hash is involved. I am currently using it like the following: if 874693 is among the words of varContainingNumbersInOrder then .. It seems like it is pretty slow on average. Would it be ...
