Hi from Beautiful Brittany, Pete, there has been a thread on this subject several times, but I'm not against seeing it again.
Whatever you do, use a prefix to define ALL your objects, but find a rule that suits you. Don't use a suffix, I'm sure you will regret it. I use a two-letter indicator (but each to his own poison !) - only 2 letters (CAPS) and not 3, like Mark ! Custom Properties CPxxx Global Variables GVxxx Local Variables LVXXX Fields Myxxx Labels LBxxx Buttons BTxxx Groups GPxxx Functions DFxxx I also deliberately use "repeat" variables : I, J, K, etc. (old Fortran rules, but habits die hard !) It also has the advantage of being crystal-clear ! It may take a little time to adjust to your new rules but, if you come back to your scripts in 6 months, you will be glad you invented them. I agree with Mark about length of names - one word is enough ! Best Regards -Francis _______________________________________________ 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
