Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Hi Bill, Well I certainly agree with your comment about being cumbersome to edit large scripts in one editor window. and I can see why your substack idea would make it easier to manage/edit smaller scripts. In fact I might take a look at that idea myself but utilizing a separate library mainstack

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Peter: Yeah, but it’s very cumbersome to deal with thousands of lines of code in one edit window. And, then I can divide the substacks by functionality and pull what I need for other applications. Bill > On Apr 30, 2015, at 8:19 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > > Hi Bill, > There's nothing wrong wit

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Hi Bill, There's nothing wrong with what you're doing but you can get the same functionality by putting your "library " handlers in your mainstack script, no need to start using it then. Pete lcSQL Software On Apr 29, 2015 3:30 PM, "William Prothero" wrote: > Peter: > Ok, if that makes it a libr

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Peter: Ok, if that makes it a library stack, then I’m using it as a library stack. BUT, it’s also a substack. So I guess in this instance, they are the same thing, functionally at least. One of the nice differences is I don’t have to provide a file path to the start using command. Don’t know if

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Maybe I'm confused over what you're doing but "start using" is how you make a stack available as a library so you're already using a library, not a substack. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Hi Bill: When you "start using stack xyz..." you are using it as a library stack :-) See the docs under "start using" or the "library" command. Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 4/29/15, 1:37 PM, "William Prothero" wrote: >Scott: >I use substacks as cod

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Scott: I use substacks as code libraries in a large project. The substack handlers are callable (without specifying the substack name) from any other substack and also from the main stack. It is like having a giant stack script. Of course, you have to “Start using mySubstack” to make the code av

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

Another thing about libraries: they can have substacks if needed. Of course, substacks can't. Phil Davis On 4/29/15 10:36 AM, Scott Rossi wrote: I imagine you'll get a lot of responses to this, but one reason to use a library is its code is available to all open stacks in LC: functions, comma

Re: Substack vs. Library Stack

I imagine you'll get a lot of responses to this, but one reason to use a library is its code is available to all open stacks in LC: functions, commands, etc. Sort of like having a backscript for all open stacks, instead of just one. A substack doesn't do this. Another frame of reference that mig

Substack vs. Library Stack

I have not read a straight answer on this, yet. Library stacks vs. substacks why use one vs. the other? I don't see any clear advantage to Libraries, per se, even for...libraries. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans. On the third
