but is it me?
Mac OS 10.12.6, LC 8.1.10
I have a 4 card stack which when loaded takes the LC memory to 66MB
I then load a 25MB plain text file into a scrolling field (which takes maybe
20 seconds and shows LC as 'not responding’ in Activity Monitor). This take
memory to 282MB
I then perform the following script Where the field “coerckey” is a list of 21
keywords I need to find in the imported text.
put empty into field "foundlines"
put empty into ttemp
put empty into field "totaliser"
put 1 into ttcount
repeat for each line i in field "coerckey"
put i into field "currentkey"
put field "import" into ttemp
filter lines of ttemp with regex pattern i
put ttemp & return before field "foundlines"
put "••• " & i & " •••" & return before field "foundlines"
filter field "foundlines" without empty
put the number of lines of field "foundlines" -ttcount into field
"coerfreq"
put ttcount + 1 into ttcount
end repeat
It works fine, and at a reasonable lick, but the memory balloons to 2.46 GB,
and is never released, even after the handler is done. I have several other
similar scripts, and unsurprisingly, after two or three, LC chokes.
I read somewhere that there was a memory leak in a previous version related to
the filter command, although I thought that was something to do with Unicode.
So is what I see down to me, or LC?
Best wishes,
David Glasgow
