Awesome idea, and I would have thought it would have been faster, but with my original script taking 20 seconds, this takes 26.
I did learn something amazing though.
return text (i) thru -1 of t
is MUCH faster than
return characters (i) thru num of t.
It's 26 vs 49 seconds.
What is your line doing?
