Excel.au3 _ExcelReadSheetToArray Slower In New AutoIT Than Old?

[Rux]

Ok, so I have this program I am working on that uses Excel.au3, it handles with excel files that have around 10,000 rows. Now, I had an older version of AutoIT (forgot it, but it was downloaded in 2010) and then just decided to update today, and now the above stated function takes about 10 minutes to go through, where before it only took about a minute and a half. Why is it taking so much longer now?

Thanks.

Which version did you use before, which do you use now?

That function is badly written. There is one bug report directly related to it. Even suggested alternative.

I used 3.3.6.1 before, now I use the newest one, which is 3.3.8.1.

Alternative? Does that mean I have to make my own function that does this?

No. Have a look at this ticket and you'll find a modified version of the function.

Wow, thanks! That function reduced the loading time to around 2-3 seconds!
