Hi Andrew. Item 1 is not a bug. Livecode has to parse the entire array, and very large arrays will be sluggish. It would be better to check the contents of your array with a script and just put the element you are interested in in the message box, or else, if it is formatted right, that is the first level key being a numbered key and the second level being the names of columns in a datagrid, you could just set the dgdata of a datagrid to your array. Since a datagrid only parses the visible data for display, it will be much faster to view your data.
eg myArray[1][column1] myArray[1][column2] myArray[2][column1] myArray[2][column2] Bob On May 21, 2012, at 10:47 AM, Andrew Meit wrote: > Anyone else ran into these older bugs of mine: > > > 1. > create a huge 3 dim array via a script with lots of data to show, like in the > thousands > click variable tab > --watch how IDE struggles to show the hierarchy via the arrows..eventually, > IDE > will hang > > 2. > have a folder of 260,000 files > set defaultfolder to that folder > use files() to get info on each file > -- note, rev eventually locks up and fails to respond, and you cant cmd-. out > ether, have to force exit > > Thanks. > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
