What are the limits of tSTL resources?
in PilRC 3.0 manual we can read: a limitation of 384 strings apply
If I an right, a string list is limited to 384 strings.
What are the limits for the strings themself?
Is there also a limitation on the number of tSTL resources I can put in my resource file? (other than the resource number from 1 to 10000)
Is there a max size for the resource file?
Thanks
Hi Regis,
I cannot give you exact figures, but can tell you about my own experience:
- 80,000 strings - about 2 MB
well, was a nightmare as a beginner...
Finally what I did was - use prc-tools through cygwin - use pilrc and its syntax to create STRINGTABLEs (3000) - limited each STRINGTABLE to 350 strings max - cut the String Tables into several .rcp files (pilrc sources) - limited each resource file (.rcp) to be < 60 kB - a Perl script did all this (tough) work
Works great.
By the way, initially I was using the Lists to display the strings ; it happens that there is a bug in the List management in the Lib, and no more than about 4,000 items can be managed efficiently (display problem after) - this is weird but is still a known bug.
Finally, using a TABLE solved the problem
