when to use functions
« on: 26 Jul 2003, 03:16:36 »
how much code should i have in a script before it is time to shift some of it over to functions?  is it worth creating a function for 2 lines of code that will be used constantly?

Functions are great for replacing loops in your scripts that process lots of data.

They seem to process data for you faster than loops in scripts.
