Thank you so much BrowserUk!

It's working so far in a relatively small number of arrays (1000).
I already found one script that's giving me no error in tens of thousands on arrays. You can get it from the conversation, posted by 'tilly'.

For now I think I'll stick to that one. But after two days of trying everything I found here, I believe I must try yours together with tilly's and see if both of you have reached the same nirvana.
Just for the heck of being able to thank everyone that helped, and post a couple of scripts that work undeniably well.

My most sincere thanks.
