How prevent app to quit

General
1

Hi everybody
Im modifying data contain in a big list box by applying regex rules
My listbox have 25 column by 4000 row
When i try to process a complicate regex on all data in a loop… my app quit itself
But if i take one column at the time… it work
I don’t want to process each column one by one
Is there a memory buffer or something is filling up that i can empty in the process
This is one method (regex) to adapt dollar syntax to the language
Takes numbers from a list box and display the regex replace result to another listbox
I wont change my regex formula… just let my app breathe a little bit
Thanks for advice

[code] for o =1 to lbpreview2.ListCount-1
for m = 1 to lbpreview2.ColumnCount-1
contentz = str(lbpreview2.Cell(o,m))

  if contentk =  ComboBoxang.text then
    //cent milles ang
    targetString.text = contentz.Trim
    re = new RegEx
    re.searchPattern = "^([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])$"
    txtcustomregex.Text = re.SearchPattern
    re.replacementPattern = "\\$\\1\\2\\3,\\4\\5\\6"
    txtcustomtarget.Text = re.ReplacementPattern
    targetString.text = re.replace(targetString.text)
    lbpreview2.Cell(o,m) = TargetString.Text
    
  ElseIf contentk =ComboBoxfra.text then
    //cent milles fra
    targetString.text = contentz.Trim
    re = new RegEx
    re.searchPattern = "^([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])([\\d])$"
    txtcustomregex.Text = re.SearchPattern
    re.replacementPattern = "\\1\\2\\3@\\4\\5\\6@\\$"
    txtcustomtarget.Text = re.ReplacementPattern
    targetString.text = re.replace(targetString.text)
    lbpreview2.Cell(o,m) = TargetString.Text
  end
Next

Is there an error ?

Not on upfront message
But i have a OSX crash report
maybe this extract can guide the search

Or do you need specific line in that crash report

Can you create a small sharable sample crashing the same way? A click button, process starts and crash.

5

The entire crash report would help.

A few things. First, you don’t need the square brackets in your patterns.

Second, you can create the RegEx once instead of once for each cell.

Third, why are you using a TextField to store the result for each cell? Do you need that?

Assuming you don’t…

  dim re as new RegEx
  if content = ComboBoxang.text then
    //cent milles ang
    re.searchPattern = "^(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)$"
    re.replacementPattern = "\\$\\1\\2\\3,\\4\\5\\6"
  ElseIf contentk =ComboBoxfra.text then
    //cent milles fra
    re.searchPattern = "^(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)(\\d)$"
    re.replacementPattern = "\\1\\2\\3@\\4\\5\\6@\\$"
  End If
  txtcustomregex.Text = re.SearchPattern
  txtcustomtarget.Text = re.ReplacementPattern
  
  for o =1 to lbpreview2.ListCount-1
    for m = 1 to lbpreview2.ColumnCount-1
      contentz = str(lbpreview2.Cell(o,m)).Trim
      lbpreview2.Cell(o,m) = re.Replace( contentz )
    Next
  Next

my honnest mistake… Im running it on Real Studio 2012 2.1
Can i post question about old version on that forum ?
Yes Kem your all right… But at this stage i cant afford mess up my code (yes i could… messing it up!!)
But its very appreciate… I’ll correct it soon as this rush batch finished
The forum dont let me post too long message… i delete the Binary image portion
Hope that not the portion you need

Yes we talk about all versions, including RS and RB :slight_smile:

Instead of posting to the forum, place the crash dump file for download and use the Link feature to insert that in the post (icon above the text with a globe and a green arrow pointing right).

The problem is, you might be experiencing a bug that has since been fixed by a newer version of Xojo.

10

this the link to dropbox
link text
The preview seem mess up but the file txt is good
thanks

11

Just a thought : have you tried to build the app and run it ? Sometimes running in the IDE exhibits strange things and the build app works fine.

12

I’v run it both way… Same result in RS
BUT Kem As right… If i running it in Debug XOJO… Work fine no crash
The question is… Is it risky to upgrade a project to XOJO
I know its better…enhance…etc etc etc
BUT is there a risk of miss-interpretation between the version
All apps sits on regex loop trough listbox and return to sqlite DB
To final output to tab delimited txt
thanks

I had code from 2002. I loaded it in Xojo, let it update deprecated controls (EditField for instance). Now the app is in the Mac App Store and I did not change anything.

Now Regex may have changed but I doubt it.

14

Unless i process each column at the time… i guess i have no choice
I’ll make a test and compare result of some column… than i jump in XOJO
If it run well at home with IDE… The result may not be worst when i build it at job
Thanks

15

There really shouldn’t be an issue in running the project in Xojo except if you’ve worked around bugs that no longer exist. (But even that shouldn’t really matter.)

However, you really, really should look at the revised code I offered. I’d expect it to be significantly faster since building up and tearing down an object (in this case, the RegEx object) is computationally expensive.

16

Sure i will Kem
I took a double check on the code… At the time i’v wrote it … it make sense
But now i admit, it must be improve
Your help (Kem and Michel) is very appreciate
thanks
