I've had problems with custom properties that are named like this:
1 a number or begin with a number can be a problem
2 spaces in the name doesn't always work
3 use only alphanumeric

Not at all :-)
It's only a kind of administration tool to embed in *one* file
everything we need to run a complex application.
Interesting for Quality and Ease of deployment

Glad you asked. I'd made myself somewhat tiresome to some here over the

set the uTest[some\thing] of this stack to test
cautioning against naming custom properties anything that
wouldn't be legal for variables, on the grounds that it may work
now but might not work forever.

Hi Randall,
If you follow shuch a scheme, ...
All of this points to why it makes sense at times to interface your
stack to a professional data base and let it do all of this
structural efficiency heavylifting (that is what it is there for).
I like to build my own cause i like to

Hi,
Another thread about kind of Database :-)
For a specific project, I need to implement this:
I have an arbitrary set of text files stored on the disk in an
arbitrary numbers of directories, within a root one, ie:
dirRoot/

dirRoor/f2
dirRoot/dir2/f3
dirRoot/dir2/dir3/f4
Bonjour Thierry,
Why don't you store directly your text files into custom properties,
the name of which would be the path?
Of course you have to replace spaces and slashes with some string
that will not break the name of the custom prop into several parts :-)
BTW note that custom props names

You can also set a specific custom property set with custom

Hi Randall,
Not only that but using your disc files as dat fields or even
record will seriously overburden your file system's day to day
efficiency. You could easily add orders of magnitude to the number

Obviously a Rev choice about used variables.
