Script Editor freaking out

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hi,

I generate scripts in text format, and then manually copy-paste them into script editor, so that formatting happens and syntax is checked.

The scripts tend to go really big. When the file size reaches around 400K, script editor stops formatting the scripts. I have already modified the build process to generate 2 scripts, but thats the most logical grouping I can do. I cannot split the scripts further.

I cant use osacompile because we provide the script source also.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Aman

Does ScriptDebugger have that problem? I haven’t used Script Editor in ages. :wink:

Yes, same problem in script debugger, does not parse it, does not highlight text (in colors)

Give XCode’s editor a try. Might not work any better, but it’s a possibility.
