in reply to Fast Way to find one array in second array

Are the inner elements single characters as shown; or is that a placeholder for longer strings or numbers or ...?

    not sure what your asking, or if it's for me, but in the problem I raised each vertex is a string of alphanumeric characters

      I replied to your post; it is for you.

      not sure what your asking,

      Your data showed single characters: @array1 = [A,B,F,G]; if that was representative of your real data, there is an optimisation that could be used.

      each vertex is a string of alphanumeric characters

      The solution I posted will work for strings (or any other kind of data) and is the fastest solution possible. Over 50 times faster than 1169738; and correct.
