If you have a few spare minutes: > 1) What is the difference between them? I'm not positive how you guys are using string arrays, but if you use constants that are located in a global module, then you can have an easier time making your apps work in other languages and my guess on this spelling thing is that you can maybe export that module as XML for spell checking it in something like TextWrangler. > 2) By "code problems" are you referring to text encoding? No, I mean that if you have XML code (like HTML), then I think that TextWrangler will only check the spelling of text in between tags like this: <someTag>s="Mississippi"</someTag> What the others were pointing out is that now you have to worry about it spell checking all of the code that occurs within the tag. My guess, and I'll admit this is only a guess, is that if you constants, then you'll have something like this: <someTag>Mississippi</someTag> And then when you spell check it in TextWrangler, it will check Mississippi not s="Mississippi". But golly, I just checked this on my own and you can't export a module alone as XML (just the complete project), so there goes that idea. Sorry for the confusion. I suppose you could export the whole project and then look through the XML for your constants module and try to spell check just that text. Long- winded way of saying RB needs spell check, I guess. :-) Erick _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
