Hello James Burns:
You should be able to check for your string in your variable. I work
with large variables in Applescript everyday. In earlier versions of
AS, I couldn't check containing a string in a string over 32k.
Interestingly, I could get the offset of the desired string in the
target. If that did not error or return 0, then the target contained
the desired string. Somewhere along the way, AS changed and you can
now check for a string in a large variable.
Yep, but I said 32Mb, not K.
To make sure that I wasn't mistaken with my comments above, I just
created a rather large text file with the following specs:
-- BBEdit says number of lines: 244,831
-- BBEdit says number of characters: 23,182,730
-- Finder says size is: 22.1MB (23,184,440 bytes)
Yeah, but again, that's under 32Mb
