Help Search value Improvement

[XEKEX]

       I wrote this bloc of code in my script and I need help for improving it bc performance and speed are trash in this loop I also have 7K values in ListOfPointers 
the script is basically goes to class name > field> get all the pointers of its value (ListOfPointers) convert the values to string and check if it match the public const string

  ListOfPointers= gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

          listfound ={}

          ------------------------------------------------

          for index,value in pairs(ListOfPointers) do

            Test = {}

            Test[1] = ListOfPointers[index] ----------------------------> take the 1er pointer then 2ed etc until the last pointer value

          gg.loadResults(Test)

          Test = gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

          Test = gg.getResults(1)

         -------------------------------------------------------> the value here represent the lengh of the offset i'm going to go through

              for i,v in pairs(Test) do

                  Test[i].address = Test[i].address + 8

              end

----------------------------------------------------------------->
 

              gg.loadResults(Test)

              Test=gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

 

              for i,v in pairs(Test) do

                Len = Test[i].value

              end

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- here check if the lengh is correct / evade bugs
 

          if Len < 3 or Len > 97 then index = index + 1 else

 

              P = NL(Len)/2

              for i,v in pairs(Test) do

                  Test[i].address = Test[i].address +4

              end

 

             

              gg.loadResults(Test)

          Test=gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

          checker = {}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------> here i add every value in a table until the last offest

          for f = 1, P do

 

              for i,v in pairs(Test) do

                  Test[i].address = Test[i].address +4

                  checker[f] = Test[i].value

              end

 

              gg.loadResults(Test)

              Test=gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

 

          end

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->  merg(checker) convert values into string and check if the values match the string (match the string in the table)

          listfound[index] = merg(checker)

          gg.toast(tostring(listfound[index])..' '..tostring(#Item-index)..' Remain')

    end

  end

Use "getValues" instead of "loadResults" followed with "getResults". And more importantly, instead of calling the function for each value, construct table with all values and call the function once for that table.

Example of how it should not be done: 

local results = gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())
for _, result in ipairs(results) do
  local checkedValue = {{address = result.address + 8, flags = result.flags}}
  checkedValue = gg.getValues(checkedValue)
  local value = checkedValue[1].value
  -- some further processing according to value
end

Example of what should be done instead: 

local results = gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())
local checkedValues = {}
for index, result in ipairs(results) do
  checkedValues[index] = {address = result.address + 8, flags = result.flags}
end
checkedValues = gg.getValues(checkedValues)
for i, v in ipairs(checkedValues) do
  local value = v.value
  -- some further processing according to value
end
