I have an application structure I create to store site wide login data. I also have a session structure that is updated with the same data as the application structure. Before it is duplicated though I need to compare the contents. I do not have to identify the data that changed, simply that data "has" changed. Is there a more efficient way to do this other than looping through one comparing with a structfind? The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked

compare Structure question
- Thread starter twcman
- Start date
You might try creating a variable that holds a timestamp. When each structure is updated, the timestamps are updated. Then all that would need to be done would be to compare the timestamps.
This may be a little tricky to set up at first, but would speed things up in the overall process. If there were a function to compare structures, it would essentially loop through them and take about the same amount of time. - tleish
