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.
