which is faster (a repeat structure question)

[Shao Sean]

how about a cross between the two?

constant charsToReplace = "127,128,129,130,...,255"  -- you get the idea

repeat for each item i in charsToReplace
  replace numToChar(i) with ("=" & toUpper(baseConvert(i,10,16))) in
inputData
end repeat


test1 for me was _waaaay_ slow even at files of just a few hundred k (of
course it's not meant to encode files, just text typed, but some people can
be wordy ;-)

test2 was much quicker..

i split the two tests into 2 seperate buttons to make both identical in
their behaviour
