Hello everyone,
I use the simple handler below to process large amounts of text.
Because it can take anywhere from a couple of seconds to ten minutes
to run, I like to know that something is happening, so I put the very
first statement in the handler, "Preparing for search..." which is
supposed to appear in field "Info 1" to let me know that the thing has
started. The trouble is, that little progress message never appears,
but the last statement in the handler, "Processing time and...,"
does. This suggests to me that Rev reads ahead through the handler,
and if it is overwhelmed by a task, such as getting a big data field,
then it cannot update the screen according to statements that came
before. (There are no lock screen statements in the handler.) How
can I fix this, so that the statements are executed in the way they
are meant to be?
Regards,
Gregory
on mouseUp
put "Preparing for search..." into fld "Info 1" -- This never
appears in the field!
set the itemDelimiter to tab
get fld "Data" of card "Data" -- Lots of data
repeat for each line thisLine in it
-- Process the text
end repeat
put "Processing time and [other stats]" into fld "Info 1"
end mouseUp
