How to quickly find device category?

MedAn

How  can I speed up the search of teh category name for device?

Now I wrote a small script:

ret = nil;
libId = ddGetObj(IndraInitForm->techLibField->value);
catList = ddCatGetLibCats(libId);
foreach(cat catList
   catId = catId = ddCatFindCat(libId cat "r");

   when(catId != nil
      when(ddCatIsObjInCat(cName catId) ret = cat);
   );end when
);end foreach

ret;

But it's take really a lot of time. Maybe somebody can show me another way?

    Call hiFlushCIW() between doing the printf() and before you call ipcWait() to force the CIW output to be flushed and to appear immediately.

    Your second question is a bit vague - end of text file? When? Do you mean if you use infile() to read it and then gets() to read lines from the file? If so, the end of the file is reached when gets() returns nil. If you mean something else, you'll need to be more precise.

    By the way, asking a collection of random unrelated questions in the same thread is against the forum guidelines (the pinned post at the top of each forum) because it makes it much harder for anyone else who is searching for a similar issue to know that a post is relevant to them.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
