rep vs forstr s ss="one[]two[][]four[]"

[ken gray]

in the help file for getl you use the following code to get each line of a var.

Code:

Copy      Help

str s ss="one[]two[][]four[]"
int i
for i 0 2000000000
    if(s.getl(ss -i)<0) break ;;no more
    if(s.len=0) continue ;;skip empty
    out s

i noticed the rep also works.

Code:

Copy      Help

str s ss="one[]two[][]four[]"
rep
    if(s.getl(ss)<0) break ;;no more
    if(s.len=0) continue ;;skip empty
    out s

would it be better to use rep since you dont need the extra var and you dont have to calc or does "for" run better in an intrinsic way?

thanks

The second code is dangerous. If this getl is not the first getl in the function, it is possible that parsing does not start from the beginning.

Better use foreach:

str s ss="one[]two[][]four[]"
foreach s ss
,if(s.len=0) continue ;;skip empty
,out s
