HI, does anyone knows how to make this shorter and faster?
Let me explain what it does and what I want:

If a page starts with GF1 then there should be 'content' in the page that has a GF1- prefix
If there is other content (prefix) like GF2, AF7, YF2 ...... Display it on screen.

This example is only covering a page that starts with GF1, of course I want to cover also GF2,GF3...AF1,YF3.... Pages

I'm not sure this is faster, but it's much shorter, and you call it once at the beginning to get all the prefixes as an array called prefix:

set prefix to setPrefix()
set pfx to item 10 of prefix's item 2 --> "AFD"
set pfx to item 12 of prefix's item 4 --> "KFN"

to setPrefix()
   set {GF, AF, YF, KF} to {{}, {}, {}, {}}
       copy {GF, AF, YF, KF} to group
 set len to {9, 12, 12, 12}
      set family to {"GF", "AF", "YF", "KF"}
  set pNum to "123456789DHN"
      repeat with j from 1 to 4
             set fam to family's item j
           set grp to group's item j
            repeat with k from 1 to len's item j
                set end of grp to fam & character k of pNum
          end repeat
     end repeat
     return group
end setPrefix
Then, in the later part (I don't have Quark), you would be able to run your checks in a repeat loop that referenced the prefixes in the prefix list, and refer to them (as variables) simply by their position in that list.

Subject: Look for prefix, if no match display alert.

HI, does anyone knows how to make this shorter and faster?
Let me explain what it does and what I want:

If a page starts with GF1 then there should be ‘content’ in the page that has a GF1- prefix
If there is other content (prefix) like GF2, AF7, YF2 ...... Display it on screen.

This example is only covering a page that starts with GF1, of course I want to cover also GF2,GF3...AF1,YF3.... Pages

In a nutshell if a page starts with a certain ‘prefix’ (always the first 3 characters) the content should be the same meaning no other prefix is allowed IN the page....

I hope I was able to explain what I meant... :)

Example naming convention of the pages:
GF6F06-051
AFHF06-003
KF9F06-008
....
