>-> SUB PrintFast2 (Rows%, Col%, Msg$, atrib%) >-> Nice routine. In PDQ it's even better since you can assign the SADD to a variable before entering the loop because the strings don't move around. Makes an excellent IntStr% function, quicker than INSTR for single character searching. Faster even than PDQ's MIDCHAR. FUNCTION IntStr%(Msg$, Search%) StrADDr%=SADD(Msg$) FOR I% = 0 TO LEN(Msg$) -1 IF Search%=PEEK (StrADDr%) THEN EXIT FOR NEXT If I% THEN IntStr% = I% + 2 END FUNCTION Rob * OLX 2.2 * The Trying of Vat 49 --- * Origin: * Info-Center BBS * (914)567-1814 >>HST<< * (1:272/26)
