Hi everyone,

I am having a problem with string parsing in vFoxpro v6.

Basically, I'm stepping through a fairly large string and extracting key and value pairs as I go.

The problem is that its slow. Really slow. The performance also doesn't make sense because as the string size grows the performance degrades almost exponentially. As its basically a single loop through the string the time taken should increase linearly, so I don't know what the problem is.

Is there something I should know about foxpro memory handling?

I've profiled the function a bunch of times but that hasn't revealed any real bottlenecks.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Matt
