Hi folks,
has anybody noticed that there seem to be
a maximum limit of about 1024 characters that you
can copy into IDL's command line?
I can copy more characters in any other xterm
window I happen to have open, but if IDL is
running, it doesn't like more than 1024 characters
to be pasted into it.
For example, if I try to paste this into the xterm where
IDL is running:
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
a='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
b='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
c='dummy string that is 64 bytes long counting the line break '
it stops around the first c=, which is about 1024 bytes worth of data.
Any idea how I can increase the maximum paste size?
I am running IDL on an xterm on Mac OS 10.4.11,
but I remember a similar problem on Linux systems.
There is no problem pasting the test lines above inot other xterm
windows.
Cheers,
Paolo
