The code below is about 2.5 times faster than what you posted
Thanks, Richard, for identifying the potential pitfalls in my script,
offering tune-up tips, and handlerizing the code.
And thanks to everyone else who responded to my posts in associated threads
with info, comments & advice.
Now, here's an OT question that cropped up while I was investigating a
recurrent script editor crash in OSX. I was attempting to get a GDB
backtrace going for Script Editor, using the Terminal. (This was before John
Coelho advised me that I could achieve the same end by leaving the Console
running in the background.)
I managed to start up GDB in the Terminal, then fell at the first fence
because I couldn't figure out how to enter the path to the script editor.
Terminal insisted on treating any space character as the end of the file
path, so I couldn't get beyond the space in the Script Editor.app package.
Can anyone here tell me how this is done - or better, point me to an online
reference source that contains this info (that kind of stuff is my grown-up
equivalent to scary stories at bed-time). Off-list replies to email@hidden,
please.
Thanks
Mr Tea
