I'm not sure how to decrease the memory size of this program. num_cards = input("Please enter the number of cards in the deck: ") de...

@retailcoder, are you there?
 
3:53 PM
@Malachi sort of - busy day at work :)
 
4:15 PM
@Malachi: I've just noticed that you now have the Strunk & White badge. :-) Gonna aim for Copy Editor?
 
@retailcoder: that code that you helped me with is being a little bit of a pill because the variables are sort of global in the context the code is used in so if they use the token twice and the second one doesn't have a first name it returns the previous first name, how do I clear the variable? I have tried setting the array variable to nothing before the end of the script, but it isn't working.
@Jamal, I have had Strunk & white for a while, I love editing! lol. I am going to go for every badge I can get!!!!
 
@Malachi: Shouldn't take you long to get to 500, then!
 
@Malachi the VBScript code? I'd have to relook at it..
@Jamal I thought you'd have a little diamond next to your name by now :)
 
@retailcoder: Not yet. Patience is a virtue. I have already decided on my first act of duty, though (nothing special).
 
@Malachi just looked at your VBScript again; I had a huge doubt about assigning those strings to null (not very vb-like), have you tried setting them to vbNullString instead? (and then the Coalescefunction should still work)
 
4:39 PM
@retailcoder: I thought that I would be able to take the setting the strings to nothing out, but I had to switch environments, for some reason they don't like me testing form stuff in Prod, imagine that, who do they think they are???? LOL I think I just need to put that back into the code. setting the name strings to nothing.
anyone care to revisit this question?

@retailcoder, I agree! I will try that vbNullString because that seems like the correct practice.

Hmm don't you mean If InStr(varPartyName, ",") <> 0 Then... ? and then FirstMiddleName = vbNullString... - "" and vbNullString are not exactly the same thing, vbNullString takes 0 memory :)
