Is this an efficient subr?

R14 Autolisp:

Can someone look at this sube and tell me if there's a better way to handle this string? I want to incorporate it into a program that uses the layer command to unthaw layers and the layer command can only handle 202 characters at a time.

Thanks

Bill

 

OH my EYES........BOLD TEXT in notepad.



I might try converting the str to a list then do a foreach in the list. Just my idea the PROs should be here in a few.



Also is Unthaw the opposite of Unfreeze.  <g>

Thanks Murph, >> BOLD TEXT in notepad <<<< ??? Don't know what you meant. I just use regular Verdana 10pt in notepad.
I converted this string "from" a list so I could feed it to the layer command inside a toolbar.
I just finished the program and it seems to work great!
When the string gets too long, then I have to break it into several calls to (command "layer" "t" "string" "") in the toolbar. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone had a more compact way of breaking up the string.

When I opened it my puter showed it as a BOLD text too early in the morning for that .But the way you are breaking the string out looks simple & short. I can't think of any other way, and no one else has replied so you must be doing it right.

That's a good rule to remember.



Hmmm...

It looks to me like this is as good as any other approach. It certainly works fast enough.
