v13 Mac on OS X 10.9.5 I have the some code testing a utility. I create some text, and then replace specific characters in the text (see below) When I replace a marker with Carriage return, no problem When I replace CR with linefeed, no problem when I replace linefeed with CrLf REPLACE STRING takes many times as long to complete on otherwise the same text...
any Ideas?? snippets of code follows C_TEXT($Text_var;$Cr;$Lf;$CrLf;$Other) $Text_var:="a"*100+$Other+"B"*100+$Other+"C"*100+$Other $Text_var:=Replace string($Text_var;$Other;$Cr) //instaneous $Text_var:=Replace string($Text_var;$Cr;$Lf) //instaneous $Text_var:=Replace string($Text_var;$Lf;$CrLf) //takes 6639 millisecond Thanks Chip --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
