Hi René,
Quoted strings can't be interpreted as variables by the engine (as
long as quoted strings aren't numbers used as names for objects). For
me, this is the main reason to always put strings in quotes (besides
the fact that strings with spaces in them will cause errors if there
are no quotes around them).
The number of characters of variables doesn't matter. Longer variables
and object names just make your stack file slightly bigger. The effect
is negligible.
Fast compilation is not the same as fast running. Compilation time is
negligible, the only noticeable delay may come from the time needed to
read a file from disk. Of course, long repeat loops and generally bad
scripting may cause delays too.
RunRev compiles your scripts when the stack file opens. As long as you
don't edit your scripts, it won't compile them again (with a few
exceptions, e.g. if you're using the "do" command).

Hello,
For my actual project I need (and I search) the better performances
when my scripts are "running"...
I read in Scripter's Scrapbook :
- Put names in quotes. They are faster to compile since they are
not checked as variables first, and you cannot unintentionally
confuse them with a variable of the same spelling.
- The fewer the characters, the faster they compile; "num of flds"
is quicker than "the number of background fields".
My question :
Fast "compile" is it fast "run" ?
in other words : is RunRev "compile" one time when I click in my
script Editor or compile each time the script is run ?
Fast compiling = (≠) fast running ?
Bon souvenir de Paris
