PLEASE fix find&replace

[croivo]

When I want to find some code in my project in all tabs opened in script editor and replace it, LiveCode crashes... Problem is not in finding code - when I want to replace all, then it just keep 'replacing', but actually nothing happens (and I was waiting long time...).
I have about 100 buttons in my stack and i cant replace same code in all buttons at once. If i do this manually, this would take me about 10 hours...
Please fix this annoying bug! Thanks!!

Hello,
It seems like you have found a nasty bug.
All bug reports should be reported to http://quality.runrev.com/.

Hi croivo,
If you have a 100 buttons that have the same code in them you should be using a behavior.
Doesn't have to be the full code of the button it could just be part;
on mouseEnter
set cursor to "hand"
etc.

If that was in each of your buttons you could just have a single button who's behavior all the other buttons could copy. That way you only have to change 1 button to change them all.

Make sense?

Code is not exactly the same... Very similar...

HI croivo,

just do it yourself

Create a button with a script like this:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  repeat with i = 1 to 100
    put the script of btn i into tScript
    replace "This string" with "That string" in tScript
    set the script of btn i to tScript
  end repeat
end mouseup

Won't take 10 hours


Best

All this clever stuff begs the issue of why LC crashes under the load. If you can send a stack that reliably does this, the RR team would love to see it.

It does? Sorry, the script was out of my head, never tested it.

Does what? Work or crash reliably?
