Identifying Un-used functions and commands

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi.
This was posted a couple of weeks ago, no?
I suggested then that you could write a short handler that loops through all the scripts in all the controls on all the cards, and isolate words that are not preceded by either "command", "on" or "function". In this way you might see, for example, that "myGadget3" may be present in scripts here and there, but there is no "on myGadget3" anywhere. Then you will have found an unused handler call.
This may require tweaking. For example, LC will compile, say:
"on         myGadget3"  -- spaces galore

Since there is code in the script editor that knows the location of any command or function you right click on, if you found out how they do that, you would be well on your way to developing a way to grok it. Also, GLX2 has a "clairvoyance" (Auto-Complete) function that is handler aware. I suspect Mark Wieder developed a method for getting a list of all handlers in a stack that is opened. That would probably help too.
