Large string arrays and interlace??
Posted: 08 Jan 2012 04:21
Has anyone tried dealing with large string arrays?
I've been messing around and it really is a nightmare!!
Guys from Liine should have informed about the limits of arrays.
I cannot define a variable with more than 20 string values. Sometimes it seems like Lemur can put up with more than 20 but even then I either get Lemur editor crash or after a while the variable becomes red and truncates the overloaded string variable array.
So i tried constructing 20 piece string variable arrays and then interlace them. I was keeping an eye also to the size of the array with a monitor and it seemed to be increased after the interlace operation. But the content of the array was a real mess. It either was the same as before or with mixed string values from the 2 arrays instead of neatly joint values. Big problems.
I was trying to setup program changes and show the names of the programms and I have ended up splitting 127 in 6 or 7 variable each holding maximum 20 values. Let aside the programming nightmare in order to refer to these variables. I need around 80 variables to address the name of the patches instead of 7 or 8 large arrays that can hold 128 names.
Am I missing something here? Anyone else has a better treatment?
The above limitation along with the 256 limit in the size of the arithmetic variable arrays has to be either tackled or else mentioned at least inside the manual!!
I lost a whole day trying to figure out whats going wrong and to prepare my string lists from pdf inside excel to discover that they had to be remade in a different manner.
