internal functions

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an internal function outside of main(), which is called getString(i). I put a debugPrintln statement inside getStrong and found that this function is called from bar 1 to the current bar, in my case, it's 2846. But in my main(), the internal function should only be called when bar count is 2840 or above. I thought what's outside the main(), i.e. internal functions, are not executed by the interpreter. So, why do I get a print statment from within getString from all the bars? I dont' understand.

main()
{
     //some code here


    if (getCurrentBarCount()>=2840) 
    {
        returnstring = efsinternal("getString", 22 );
    }


     //some code here


}

function getString(i) 
{ 
  var ret = "";
  var ch=0;
  var x=0;
  debugPrintln("inside getString" + i +" BarCount = "+getCurrentBarCount());
  for (x=0; x<i; x++) 
    {
        ch = d.call("JSgetS");
        debugPrintln("ch = "+ch);
        if (ch>=0) 
        {
           ret = ret+String.fromCharCode(ch);
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

If you call it as a function using getString(22) instead of using efsInternal() you will get the desired result. When you use efsInternal() you are essentially creating a stream object and it will initialize using all available bars the very first time it is called.

I see. Thank you for the clarification, Chris.
