js string length limit

I'm wondering if the 1999 char limit for js string can be raised?

This limit makes regExpr for larger string useless.

Using Max 4.5

I guess not. Is there a change in Max 5?

For now I found a way around it by cutting the text into smaller chunks.

In Max 5, Max's symbols are limited to 2048 characters. But the javascript string is not. So you can read/write files, do whatever string analysis you want on bigger string inside JavaScript.
