How to do a rapid search in large fields?

by steffen.news1@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Steffen Bendix) Oct 20, 2005 at 11:04 AM

Hello,

in SuperCard 4.1.2 I need to rapidly search a field containing more than
16,000 words. It doesn't matter _what_ is to be found. It is only
im****tant wheather a word is contained in this field. A "repeat" handler
is much too slow. The "find" command works not fast enough (up to seven
seconds on my 1,33 GHz iBook) except a word is _not_ found. How can I
accelerate the search routine?

In addition, I hid the field but every found text makes the field
visible again until a new search is started. I placed an object above
the hidden field but it "****nes through" after a successful search. How
can I prevent this behavior?

Steffen

PS. I cannot afford the new SuperCard version by the way. So how can I
solve the problem with my version?
