hi all
I program a small tabular database on AGK2.
In the database the first line item - a unique name (string)
To add a new element I enter his name and to verify whether such method Array.find name (name).
There are cases wherein, when checking the existing name, the method returns -1 FIND - not found. At the same time I can see with my own eyes that there is an element. A little tough to make sure I understood that the method does not work well FIND.
upsetting

It is a bit daft ; from the documentation :

".sort() will always sort in ascending order and .find(item) will only work on arrays that are in ascending order."


I do not know if it is doing (say) a binary search, probably something like that.

There are a few handy things that would be fairly easy and would be useful - string find and replace and a find that just did a boring old sequential search would be one of them.

Oh, damn, I missed. So (after sorting) seems to work ...
It seems they (AGK team) immediately made an optimized search ..
