is there a faster way to copy an ArrayList of strings to a string other than
a tight loop.
In it's most simple terms, I'm currently using something like this...
----------------------------
*** NOTE: rtbXML is a Rich Text Box on the form
dim iCntr as integer
dim sText as string
dim arList as new ArrayList
' Code here will be building a very large Rich Text Box string.
arList.Add("Str ing 1")
arList.Add("Str ing 2")
arList.Add("Str ing 3")
' I'd like to replace the following loop with something faster
sText = ""
for iCntr = 0 to arList.Count - 1
sText += arList.Item(iCn tr)
next
rtbXML.Rtb = sText
-----------------------------
I'm building the string to hand off to a Rich Test Box such as "rtbXML.rtb =
stext". I'm originally adding the lines of RTB formats to the ArrayList
because adding the formats to the 'stext' variable in small chunks takes a
looooong time. The idea is to have a very fast memcpy to get the arraylist
to sText as quickly as possible. What I would really like is to go directly
from the arraylist to the rtbXML.Rtb, but I'll settle for a fast "memcpy".
Actually, what I would really like is to be able to display my XML text
files in a .NET browser box on my form. I was using the ActiveX browser
control to display the XML files. but, that meant that I had to install the
ActiveX dll for the browser on my customers computers. That wasn't so bad,
but to make a long story short, the environment that my customers have their
computers doesn't make it real easy to install all the extra drivers. So, I
decided to write my own XML viewer which works, but I need to speed up the
RTB section a bit.
thanks for any help,
Brian

Chris,
Only because that it shows what you do in one statement.
I am not interested in the performance because that is probably about
nanoseconds in this case.
I am extremly propaganding however forever the stringbuilder in this
newsgroup and when you would search for it than you would see, that I have
had very hard discussions about that.
:-)
Cor
Cor,
You're right, I wasn't very clear.
What I meant was that the code sample provided using String.Join was
the best solution to the stated question--how to join an ArrayList of
strings in a single line.
The comment about StringBuilder was a secondary comment to the code
from the OP where he had used a loop with standard old string
concatenation to perform the same operation. My intention here was to
state that StringBuilder was better than old style string
concatenation, but not that it was better than String.Join.
The quick answer is not always best if it's not explained--your point
is taken.
Thanks,
Sam

I find your answer confusing (however read further)
You give as only one direct the exact right answer (I surely would have given the stringbuilder answer as well, while I know this Join) and than you can (mis) read from your message that the stringbuilder is better.
What it is in my opinion not the case. Your join answer is in my opinion the best.
(As well meant to the OP of course)

I *assume* its implementation is "optimized" , because its not implemented in
the 'String' class directly:

Hello,
I am wondering which of these two methods is the fastest: std::copy, which
is included in the standard library, or a manually written pointer copy?
Do any of you have any experience with this?
I would think that the library function std::copy would perform optimally,
as it is a library function, and therefore the writers of this function
would know best how to optimize it ... but some tests seem to indicate
that my pointer copy...

I need to copy a byte array into a string, but starting at a specific

my byte array is (100) big, I might want to start at position 60 for
example and copy from 60 to the next null byte in the array to my

byte is in the byte array.
The array I'm dealing with is much bigger than that, so...
