Hi all:
I have a script that searches a mail list for certain states w/zip code
and then copies the lines containing those states to another, new,
document utilizing BBEdit.
I am using BBEdit 5.1.1 and OS 9.1
The actual development was done using Facespan 3.x, but I have dragged
the code out to Script Editor to confirm that I get the same results
with just Applescript 1.6 alone.
I have not used the script since upgrading to OS 9.1 from 9.0.4, but now
have a need to utilize this code.
Now, for some reason, the copy process, which used to be very zippy, is
very, very, very slow. What used to take mere seconds now takes a minute
or more.
My first thought was that it was a CarbonLib problem ( as some of my
development tools refuse to play nice with 1.3.1 ), but have tried
CarbonLib 1.0.4, 1.2.5 and 1.3.1 with the same results.
The line which finds the states follows:
find "\\t" & stateID & "\\t" & "(#####)" with grep, start at top and
case sensitive
That which copies the lines containing the states follows:
copy lines containing "\\t" & stateID & "\\t" & "(#####)" with grep and
case sensitive
Can someone tell me if this is, indeed, an OS 9.1 and BBEdit 5.x issue
or is something else going on here?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
