Re: Optimizing getting contents of text fields

Ok, I've realized I can set the tags for all text fields excluding the labels and then
get the contents of every text field whose tag > 0
and then parse the data. Is there anyway to change the order in which the text field contents are added to the resulting string? I'm guessing they are in the order the fields were created.
Thanks,
Joe

I have this code in a "on write to file" handler in a document app. It cycles through a list statTextKeys and gets the contents of the field with the associated name. I'm creating a keyList and a valueList for use in a call method "dictionaryWithObjects:forKeys:"
With 90 items in the list statTextKeys, this tell block takes approximately 13 seconds.

Any suggestions on how to make this code quicker? All in all, I'm grabbing over 200 values from fields in the document window and it's taking a LONG time for a document to save.

tell tab view item "stats"
set keyList to keyList & statTextKeys
repeat with thisKey in items in statTextKeys
set end of valueList to ((contents of text field (thisKey as string)) as string)
end repeat
end tell

Thanks for any suggestions,
