Searching Lists
I am creating a VERY complex project with a lot of data stored in a list. I want to be able to have my program search the list. Is there any way to do this? Please post a PROJECT with it, don't use the not nice looking forum blocks.

Re: Searching Lists
Just stop now, scratch doesn't have the string commands for something like that. Just wait for version 1.4. I have a very good feeling that they will add more string features.

Re: Searching Lists
You can search for an exact match on a string now. If the list is sorted, you can use a bisection search and it will find it pretty quickly. Would you like a demo?

Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

OK! Thanks!
Okay, here it is

I decided to just use a simple sequential search (start at the beginning, look until you find it or run out of items) because...it was simpler! I hope you find it helpful.

Re: Searching Lists
Hmmm I didn't know the <( <=> )> block worked with checking strings.
