limits: length of script

[dooshorama 0]

does the current script length of 4095 lines apply to 1 script (.au3 file), or the entire parsed script including all the "#include"s ?

any plans to increase/remove this limit?

4095 characters per line. Your script can be as many lines long as you want/need.

I have a related question. Do the max characters per line only count as a line in the source, or will lines joined together with the underscore character be added together for a cumulative total of 4095?

It wouldn't be too hard to check It's 4095 characters between carriageReturns/LineFeeds.

Incidentally, the limit on a string is 2,147,483,647 characters... and your script could contain a long literal string if you used the underscore-continutation.

To reach that limit, you would need a source file that was at least 2 gig in uncompressed ASCII size. Just think of how long that would take to compile Oh, and you'd also need over 524,416 lines, all appended onto the previous line.

Now we just need someone with several gig of RAM and a fast processor to try it out

Underscored lines are merged and the final merged lined is subject to the limit IIRC.
