I worked the Captains log/Journal all day today. I got all the known bugs worked out.
I think I'm nearly there. I see the problem Dude was talking to me about. You said Dude that log files over 62K will not read properly. I'm having problems with reading files at around 1.56 K. They will only read to this point and just stop.
I have an idea. perhaps a Do While loop with a readline command.
I need to get that problem fixed before this version is released.
Files that are too large will exceed the time allowed by Hal to process script. Hal will show files larger than 1.52 K in the Hal window but will only read up to that point and no further.
I thought about pocessing a larger text book and splitting it up into sections by VBScript and then reading those sections individually. All automatically through Hal.
With a do while loop I can send each line to Hal so that Hal won't take so long processing before he/it speaks. It would be ideal if I/someome could have it pause and then start after so many lines were read by Hal. That way a very long file could be read. However, you couldn't just start where you left off reading. You could if the file was broken into chapters. Or Hal's screen could displayed a number that you could later refference to and find your spot agian.
Any ideas would be appreciated.[

P.S. By the way I'm working on this project not for recognition or for posterity but because I'm having fun [
