More playing about.

I found that using a get statement gives satisfactory results, and is very, very fast.

set mysizestring to {}

set mynamestring to {}

tell application "Finder"

set mysizestring to get physical size of every file of entire contents of folder "Yearly Email Storage 2009" of disk "jobs"

set mynamestring to get name of every file of entire contents of folder "Yearly Email Storage 2009" of disk "jobs"

end tell

mysizestring & mynamestring

This gives a script thus, which is many times faster....

set myPinCushion to {}

set mysize to {}

tell application "Finder"

set myHaystack to every file of entire contents of folder "Yearly Email Storage 2009" of disk "jobs"

set mysizestring to get physical size of every file of entire contents of folder "Yearly Email Storage 2009" of disk "jobs"

set mynamestring to get name of every file of entire contents of folder "Yearly Email Storage 2009" of disk "jobs"

end tell

set myNeedles to {"2009-03-10 002133Z.emlx.zip", "2009-03-10 002731Z.emlx.zip", "2009-03-10 014903Z.emlx.zip", "2009-03-10 015107Z.emlx.zip", "2009-03-10 015140Z.emlx.zip", "2009-03-10 015211Z.emlx.zip"}

repeat with x from 1 to count of myHaystack

if item x of mynamestring is in myNeedles then

set end of myPinCushion to item x of myHaystack as alias -- a bit faster

set end of mysize to item x of mysizestring

end if

end repeat

myPinCushion & return & mysize

Santa
