- Thread-topic: What are the limitations of the AppleScript data structure and tools?
We're developing a large set of AppleScript libraries that we use to
wrap the Office application dictionaries and to encapsulate common tasks
to make the task of creating and maintaining suites of test scripts
simpler and more robust. Some of these libraries have grown quite large,
and we're trying to get a handle on the limitations of the data
structures and tools associated with AppleScript code.
- Is there a fixed limit on AppleScript source file size (number of
lines, number of characters, etc.)?
- Is there a fixed limit on the number of handler definitions in a
single AppleScript source file?
- Is there a fixed limit on the number of handler calls in a single
AppleScript source file?
- Is there a fixed limit on the size of lists, records, strings, etc.?
I see that this topic was kicked around a few years ago (Thanks, Paul!),
but I didn't see any definitive answers - only anecdotes.
