[amibroker] Matching User Input Date Parameters

["Blair" <snoopy.pa30@xxxxxxxxx>]

Group,

I am trying to figure out a good (efficient) way to match several user
input dates to control placement of symbols on the screen.

I currently have a loop that checks every user input date against the
current datenumber.  Unfortunately even for my very small test sample
of 4 input dates, it takes a LONG time to run (minutes).  I don't even
want to try scaling it up to the 20+ dates that I would use on a
typical analysis that I am doing.

So far my ideas are to try the following:
1.  Sort the user input dates and then only compare in order
2.  Break processing as soon as match found
3.  Find a different way to determine date matching

I am currently working on the Break processing (trying a While loop),
but would really appreciate any guidance offered.

Thanks

Blair
