Variable Max Length?
I'm writing an EXE that makes a call out to java.exe (based on the samples in the NSIS archive) to run some java code using NSIS.

Is there a limit to the size of variables? I have a quite LARGE classpath (since all jars have to be included) and no matter what maxlen I specify with StrCpy it always truncates the string at a certain position (didnt bother to count every character so not sure exactly where it truncates.. but it does).

Any suggestions? The truncating is my last little hurdle.

Thanks!

By the way.. heres the StrCpy command I'm using:

StrCpy $COMMAND '"$R0" -classpath "$CLASSPATH" -Xmx256M -Dproject.home="$R3" ${CLASS}'

I then run an Exec on that variable. The CLASSPATH is quite large.. about 1032 characters.

The default NSIS compiler has a maximum string length of 1024 bytes. There is a special build available which has a much higher limit - see http://nsis.sourceforge.net/download/specialbuilds/

You rock! Thanks - that did the trick.
