Question to Memoline(),mlcount(),etc.

[byte-one]

Hello all!
Are the memo and text functions from harbour limited to 256 characters per line as in clipper?

Günther,

The main problem with MemoLine() is that it starts from the beginning of the text everytime you extract a line so it is slow.

FWH provide a function ExtractLine() that it is very fast (as it reuses the current in text position) and that does not have any lenght limitation:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

      cTxtFile = MemoRead( cRCFile )
      nFrom = 1

      while nFrom < Len( cTxtFile )
         cLine = ExtractLine( cTxtFile, @nFrom )
         ...
         SysRefresh()
      end
