Archive: Variable Length


Variable Length
Hello,

I've been busy doing other things, and decided to update from 2.01 to 2.07. After doing this I can no longer run one of my scripts, since the Variable that is being concatonated is being truncated, therefore, making my command line call too short.

It's basically an NSIS app that calls makensis.exe with all the desired variables defined. I did it this way to best support certain multilingual features, which couldn't be modified otherwise. I keep appending to my $Defs variable which easily could exceed 1024 characters in length.

I know I could make multiple variables and link them etc etc, but that is a pita. I also know I could write it out to a file then run the file. I'd like to keep it as is.

What changed, and when will it be fixed?


You probaly used a build with increased string length. This build is available at http://nsis.sourceforge.net/download/specialbuilds/
