Code snobbery: I could compare dates faster than DreamWeaver - Greg the dogsitter - 08-26-2006 Big site; a thousand files or so. I want to download newer files from the ftp server, so DW has to compare dates. It feels like this: Compare file 1... Compare file 2... Compare file 3... The other week, I wrote a real basic perl script that got the modification dates for files on a totally different ftp server. It grabbed the results of the ftp dir() command, then mashed the dates around offline. It was a heckuva lot faster than whatever DW is doing. What the hey, DW?

If you can code a perl script that does something faster than DW, then you don't need DW. Re: Code snobbery: I could compare dates faster than DreamWeaver - Greg the dogsitter - 08-26-2006 In this case, that might be a good idea. Re: Code snobbery: I could compare dates faster than DreamWeaver - M A V I C - 08-26-2006 I used DW a lot from version 1 to 4. I still keep up with it, even taught a class in it. Now I do it all by hand.
