I am trying to port a stack that runs fine under Livecode 7.1.4 to Livecode
8.1.7 in order to take advantage of 8.1.7’s 64-bit standalone app capability
for Mac OS X “High Sierra". That is when I found that under either Yosemite or
High Sierra a “replacetext" action takes over 20 minutes under 8.1.7 while
under 7.1.4 it takes less than one second! The replacetext is to remove extra
spaces in a 60,000 line (1.9 million character) variable, and looks like this:
put replacetext(holdIt1,"[ ]{2,10}",empty) into holdIt
Under 8.1.7 I get the dreaded spinning beachball, although the replacetext
action eventually finishes (after 20 minutes), and the script then runs to
completion.
Any ideas about causes and cures for this issue?
Regards,
Bruce Pokras
