Hello all! I think: integer llSubStringFirstIndex(string src, string pattern, integer start)that starts searching in src at the integer specified as start for pattern, integer llSubStringLastIndex(string src, string pattern, integer end) that starts searching backwards in src, from end, for pattern, integer llListFindListFirstIndex(list src, list find, integer start)that starts searching in src at the index start for find, integer llListFindListLastIndex(list src, list find, integer end)that starts searching backwards in src, starting at the index end, for find, should be implemented. These would make the life of people who parse SO much easier, and would dramatically decrease the memory and CPU footprint of scripts that need to search large lists and strings.  ==Chris |

Now THIS is something I would endorse. Or, even better: llMirrorSubString(string src, integer start, integer end)Mirrors target string. For example: "This is a test" mirrored in its entirety would read: "tset a si sihT" A list option for that would also be nice, though llListSort can be cheated to do something like that. Backwards thinking, I'm sure - but in a way, also capable of what you're asking for there, Chris. And yeah - it would save the time it takes to parse all that through a loop.
