interpret string max size

[Fredrik Olofsson]

help,
i have problems with .interpret.  do any one have a workaround for  
strings longer that 8192 chars?

(
        var size= 100;
        var dict;
        var str= "('test' :"+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";
        str.postln;
        dict= str.interpret;
        size-dict['test'].size
)
(
        var size= 8000;
        var dict;
        var str= "('test' :"+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";
        str.postln;
        dict= str.interpret;
        size-dict['test'].size
)
(
        var size= 8192; //over maximum
        var dict;
        var str= "('test' :"+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";
        str.postln;
        dict= str.interpret;
        size-dict['test'].size
)

Hi Fredrik.

I can't remember how I solved my problem but I suspect it was rounding all those

floats I was using .round(0.002) so the setting could be interpreted.

But this is obviously a problem.

Also, I was testing your code and I realise that the dict is an Event and not a String

(probably because of the 'test') and it behaves differently. (allows for less characters

to be interpreted??). 

(

var size= 29952; //over maximum

var dict;

var str= "('test' :"+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";

dict= str.interpret;

Post << dict;

dict.size.postln;

dict.class.postln; // Event

dict = dict.asString;

dict.size.postln;

dict.class

)

(

var size= 29952; //over maximum

var dict;

var str= "("+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";

dict= str.interpret;

Post << dict;

dict.size.postln;

dict.class.postln; // String

dict = dict.asString;

dict.size.postln;

dict.class

)

So no workaround here, but just an observation.

hi Thor,
thanks but rounding won't help as this is a string with ascii data.
and the dictionary/event was there in my code on purpose.  but you're  
right, could have been a string also.  doesn't matter.  the same  
problems occur.

one ugly hack could be to analyse the string(s) start/end points, cut  
them in half and add ++ signs in between.  but i'm not going to do  
this - too rough.
(
        var size= 8192; //over maximum
        var dict;
        var str= "('test' :"+($r.dup(size).join).quote+")";
        //ugly hackaround. could be made smarter analysing where the string  
begins/ends and cut in to - also do this recursivly until less than  
8192 chars
        if(str.size>8000, { //threshold to split string
                str= str.copyFromStart(4000)++"\"++\""++str.copyToEnd(4001);
        });
        dict= str.interpret;
        dict['test'].postln;
        size-dict['test'].size
)
