instr Count

[Merri]

I can't do LCase$ to an array Besides doing LCase$ to data that might be even 10 MB or more... you get the picture. It is super slow. That is probably what InStr does in TextCompare and that's the reason it is so slow.

Also, arrays must be passed ByRef. They can't be passed ByVal. ByRef is also faster, because there is no need to make a copy of the variable.


And for the last words, doing binary comparison is super fast. Also... my current version of InBArr is almost as fast in TextCompare as it is in BinaryCompare. I've used a few tricks in the code to strip down unrequired calculations. Doing fast code means that the code must be long as well.
