how do you clean out unused variables?

[6lickdrdunDchics]

after using the product for several months now, i've got a whole slew of variables that i was using once, but no longer. when i go to the variables list in the build an expression window, i have to trudge through this big ol long list of every variable i've ever declared. how can i clean out the ones i don't want to see anymore?

There's no benefit to doing that... I never would do that personally. Try re-using variables you no longer need values from is one tip. Managing your variables better might help too, keep track of them and try to limit the amount of "use once only" variables you have, try re-using them when possible.

Note that none of the scripting languages I've ever used has a function for that, so it's not something most people require... Best of luck.

If there isn't a reference to a Variable anywhere in the project, then it won't show in the Build list. Make sure you clean up after yourself and you shouldn't have any issues.

Wait, are you saying that your expression builder variable list contains all your variables from all your projects built over the past 3 months? If so, that shouldn't be happening. Simply update by downloading and installing the patch for the latest version of AMS, and if the problem persists email support@indigorose.com with details of your problem and your valid registration information.

And just for the record, vis-a-vis the title of this thread, if your variables were unused they would not be initialized and therefore would not need "cleaning", so it's a misnomer... /ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif
