Function takes a very lot of CPU load for long time

Thank you for this new set of code. The results are exactly what I had in mind. It taught me a few new things such as using a function within a function.

Don’t get me wrong but isn’t it a lot of code for a (in my mind) relative simple calculation?
Maybe I got it all wrong but I experimented with my old code and some of the ideas I took from the various tips here and came to this:

function fDoorloopTijd() {

var:date vStart = $DatumIn; //theStartdate
var:date vEnd = $DatumUit; //the Enddate
var:date vLoopDate = $DatumIn; //set the start of the loop
var:num vDagen = days(vStart,vEnd); //Count the total number of days between start and enddate
var:list vSetDagen =; //variable to hold the weekdays from start to end
var:num vTeller =; //counter used for the loop
var:interval vDay = interval("24:00:00"); //used to increment the loopdate

// The routine lists the days of the week from start to finish
	while(vTeller<vDagen){
		vSetDagen+=vLoopDate.weekday;
		vTeller+=1;
		vLoopDate+=vDay;
		$Doorlooptijd = vSetDagen.count_if(anItem,anItem<6);  //do not count Weekenddays 
	};
};

I changed the vDay interval to interval(“24:00:00”), I noticed an near endless loop when I used “24:00”. Probably because with “24:00” it counted the minutes (?)

So it seems that both functions produce the right outcome and -most importantly- Tinderbox doesn’t stall by the edict when you open the document, nor does it stall during the periodic updates from the edicts.

Learned a lot :slight_smile:
