Thread: Scope of Variables

That's an awful lot of text (c'mon, you know programmers hate to read), when an SSCCE would have been much easier to answer. Can you show us some code that demonstrates what you're talking about? The shorter the better.

Again, without seeing any code, it's almost impossible to tell you whether something is possible or not. You might be looking to pass a parameter to a method, or define a global variable, or something else- we honestly can't answer this question accurately without seeing the code you're talking about. And people don't really have the time to read through an entire program, so we ask for an SSCCE. It should be possible to write a much much smaller program that does the same general thing. Use a simple String variable instead of anything complicated, maybe.

Why are you optimizing this code - what is the performance problem that makes it necessary?

Rules of Optimization:
Rule 1: Don't do it.
Rule 2 (for experts only): Don't do it yet.

Sounds like you are trying to refactor rather than optimize...big difference. Break the problem down, and think about the functionality: what pieces of code do what, splitting these into Classes and methods. Once things are reduced down to smaller pieces it makes it easier to call from other parts of code. Without an SSCCE we truly can't provide detailed advice, but it seems to me you have a single method for your program flow which should be put through the process I just described to reduce to methods that define a certain functionality/process.
