Richmond, you could rewrite that to be much more efficient, both in code, and I'm guessing in performance.
Instead of this: case (numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2325)) set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to numToChar(61953) put 2 into DDROP break case (numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2326)) set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to numToChar(61954) put 2 into DDROP break case (numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2327)) set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to numToChar(61955) break etc. Do this: First, set up a custom property (or preference file, if you like). It should contain this: numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2325) & tab & numToChar(61953) numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2326) & tab & numToChar(61954) numToChar(2339) & numToChar(2327) & tab & numToChar(61955) etc. Then during startup, do this: global fPROCTable put the fPROCCustomProc of this stack into fPROCTable split fPROCTable by cr and tab Then, in place of that amazing switch statement, use this one line of code: set the unicodeText of fld "fPROC" to subTable[the unicodeText of fld "fBUILT"] If you also want to set DDROP then you could tweak that first array or just create a second array, which is probably better. The line of code for that would be something like: if DDROPTable[the unicodeText of fld "fBUILT"] is not empty then put DDROPTable[the unicodeText of fld "fBUILT"] into DDROP regards, Geoff On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 10:13 AM, Richmond Mathewson < richmondmathew...@gmail.com> wrote: > If anybody really cares here is a PDF of the code in > ONE object in my Devawriter Pro: read it and weep . . . :) > > http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/**richmond/PRO/KODE/5000.pdf<http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/PRO/KODE/5000.pdf> > > you never know; you might learn something, get a headache, or both! > > ______________________________**_________________ > 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<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
