[CODE]RLE(string)={
my(number=1,string=eval(Vec(Str(string))),Letter=string[1]);
for(x=2,#string,
if(string[x]==Letter,
number+=1,
print1("("number")"Letter);
Letter=string[x];
number=1)
);print1("("number")"Letter)
}[/CODE]


so it now becomes this and should work.

now I need a decoding part this semi falls under finding if a string is numerical, I'll start to try to decode it again.

how does my help that ? nevermind I see what you mean lol.

Suppressing exceptions:

never played with try and catch so never caught an error in my code to suppress lol.

Storing secrets in plain text

good luck i don't even make addhelp for most of my programs in Pari lol, I'm not necessarily going to leave something as a comment lol.

Not being up to date:

probably my second worst one.

my number 1 might be #1 lol
