10 to 12 seconds to read a text file with 3200 lines using wildmatch? omg where did u save the file to floppydisk?
I loaded KingTomatoe's and ran it, and his was taking around 1.05 seconds to function on mine now here is the problem with that
the 1.00 was to get the hashtable data into the window
the 0.05 was to sort it and output it in the order wanted
see the problem
using /hsave -n table file | /filter -ff file file method, takes around 0.10 seconds to hsave and 0.06 seconds to display results 0.16 is significantly better than 1.05.
assuming your getting 2 to 3 second results, i would assume that translats to 0.36/0.48 second results using /hsave
I well look at this other thread u mentioned and maybe come back with example code of how to source from the file itself.
* either way, I think a better solution for you might be to load the file to a hidden window, rather than a hashtable, a hashtables advanatage is for quick access to each bit of data based on supplying its unquie ITEMNAME, from what i understand your keeping all the info in the data, and thus this makes the use of a hashtable unlikely to be the correct tool.
