Maybe my practice is different, I don't open many different playgrounds for every code I type in. I am used to work with one or two workspaces and use only one of them as a "playground" for the code. > > >> But it just caches the current text and if you remove the current text, >> the cache >> file is deleted. >> > > Indeed.

That means, if you select some text and replace it with a shorter one, the play-cache files replaces only the beginning of the file. Therefore, some of the text isn't even valid code anymore. > > Cheers, > Doru > > >> >> >> nicolai >> > > > > -- > www.tudorgirba.com > > "Every thing has its own flow" >
