make a list

hi,

i need to make a list of lists from a tab and return delimited string
like : "data1 [tab] data2 [tab] data3 [return] data4 [tab] data5 [tab]
data6"
[tab] and [return] are the delimiters!!

this string should become a list like: {{"data1", "data2",
"data3"},{"data4", "data5", "data6"}}

i have an applescrip:

set x to (mysql's ExecuteMySQLCommand(sqlCommand))
set addressData to {}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
repeat with i from 1 to count text items of x
if i - 1 then
set y to text item i of x
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tab
set _name to text item 1 of y & " " & text item 2 of y
set end of addressData to {_name, text item 3 of y, text item 4 of
y, text item 5 of y}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
end if
end repeat

but this is to slow.
i.e. the script needs for 188 text items of x about a minute on a eMac
1Ghz!

i guess a c++ routine will be much faster bu i don't have any
experiences with c++ so anybody can help me?

Sascha
