rpgking	Is it still 255 characters like it was in Verge2? Posted on 2004-05-18 22:32:35
vecna	No. There's limits in some situations.. log and exit() probably have limits of 4k. But general string ops are virtually unlimited. Posted on 2004-05-18 22:58:52
gannon	my tests say that 255 is not the limit. the log file can't take really big string but I got a string of about 3500 in there eep posted at the same time :P Posted on 2004-05-18 22:59:37 (last edited on 2004-05-18 23:14:08)
rpgking	WOW..."virtually unlimited"? That is awesome! :O Posted on 2004-05-18 23:15:55
Ear	Too bad a string literal of 951 characters or more will cause VCC to crash as it loads the string into a fixed-size buffer. Now how about real string comparisons? Posted on 2004-05-25 01:31:57 (last edited on 2004-05-25 01:35:13)
Gayo	Nyahaha. I set up a loop to double the size of a string with every iteration and got to several hundred megs of memory usage before giving up. Posted on 2004-05-25 02:45:07

It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
