0001-files

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

if I add a line at the end of a text file with the following script line

Text File: Insert Line "0" to "%[L]_LOGFILE%" -- %[L]_LOGMESSAGE%

then I see a *.0001 file for a few milliseconds. It seems to hold a copy
of the text file.

Please, could you tell me, what this file is good for?

Thanks in advance.

The function creates a copy of the original file, makes the appropriate
modifications (e.g. add line, replace line, etc.) and if this process
succeeds, it replaces the original file.

Hi Friedrich,

this is very secure, not to say paranoid. But it slows down things, if
you write big (40MB with 1.000.000 lines in my case) files with setup
builder (also known as tool builder).

I can see, that you need this for inserting or replacing lines. But
perhaps you can add a function "append line" which does not use this
double checked security.

What do you think?

Yes, we also noticed it while testing your utility script. It was
slooooooooow <g>. In fact, the "Handle Text Operation" feature was not
designed to handle this number of write actions (and files with 1.2+ million
lines).

But we'll check if it is possible to speed up this process (we'll use your
script as a reference project). It should be possible to optimize this
feature.

Thanks,
Friedrich

Thanks,

I will send you the corrected script, after we've solved the buffer
overrun issue.

Out of terminal curiosity<g>: Why do you need to write a file like that
with SB?

Because SetupBuilder is also a fantastic ToolBuilder, and I use it this way.

As someone else mentioned a few monthes ago, Friedrich could double his
income, if he would sell the same product two times: As SetupBuilder ans
as ToolBuilder.

Hi Friedrich,

I just send you a simplified "performance test script".
