What Are The Size Limits For Text Variables?

[lemming]

I've created a new (I think) method for arrays in Macex. It uses one text variable to store the array. I'm wondering what the maximum size of a single text variable is, so that I don't crash Macex, or even my system.

 

Anyway, the array routine is almost done and I will release it soon.

There is no limit on the size of the variable, but if you use the Variable Set String command there is a character limit of 256.

I have successfully used Variable Set String to set a character string of 720 characters. I'm sure more is possible.
