 |
|
I have a program that does a customer look-up by entering some search term or based on the called ID. It builds a list of records with the match and then a bunch of other stuff happens. There are a few thousand customer records and the searches can take a few seconds. I want it faster. Here is the code at the search point:
| Code: | :BUTTON1BUTTON
REM FIRST
DIALOG SET,LIST2,Searching...
DIALOG CURSOR,WAIT
list clear,13
LIST SEEK,9,0
%%SEARCHME = @DLGTEXT(EDIT7)
REPEAT
%M = @MATCH(9,%%SEARCHME)
IF @EQUAL(%M,1)
LIST ADD,13,@ITEM(9)
END
%%TEMP = @NEXT(9)
UNTIL @NOT(@OK()) |
And here is the header and 1 record sample from the data:
ID|PGRPCOUNT|LOGIN|PW_EMAIL|PASSWORD|SHIP_FNAME|SHIP_LNAME|SHIP_EMAIL|SHIP_COMP|SHIP_PHONE|SHIP_FAX|SHIP_ADDR|SHIP_CITY|SHIP_STATE|SHIP_ZIP|SHIP_CNTRY|BILL_FNAME|BILL_LNAME|BILL_EMAIL|BILL_COMP|BILL_PHONE|BILL_FAX|BILL_ADDR|BILL_CITY|BILL_STATE|BILL_ZIP|BILL_CNTRY
XXX1XXX|0|marktrubo|mark@directglove.com|mypassword|Mark|Trubowitsch|mark@directglove.com|Direct Glove|800-434-0012|800-434-0013|485-18 South Broadway|Hicksville|NY|11801|US|Mark|Trubowitsch|mark@directglove.com|Direct Glove|800-434-0012|800-434-0013|485-18 South Broadway|Hicksville|NY|11801|US
The odd thing is if the search is on some term with lots of matches, it is really quick, like I just did one that had 3,106 matches and it took like 1 second. But if there are only a few matches, it takes like 30 seconds.
What can I do to speed this up? Can I do soemthing with the String DLL or something else?
Thanks! |

Great.
Please bear in mind that this is a beta, so report any instability etc.
If your source file isn't changing all the time, you could also consider the new FileOpsRes range of functions.
FileOpsRes will keep the file loaded between function calls and thus it will be much faster when doing repeated
operations on the same file.
