Hi Paul,
You are probably better off with some of the other
scripting suggestions, but your post reminded me of a unit I often use in my
apps to parse and execute mathematical expressions. It supports all common trig
functions, and math operators. I can't just post it here as I notice it still
bears a copyright Borland 1985 at the top of the unit!
It originally came as part of one of the Borland Turbo
Pascal Toolbox add-ons - the sample spreadsheet I think.
It's been very handy over the years especially in
converting some of my old Clipper and dBase apps which commonly used such
powerful things as Macros and CodeBlocks which could be stored as data, then
retreived and executed at runtime.
regards,
Steve
I remember when....
don't get me started.

Subject: [DUG] exectuteString command?Dear all,With the recent enhancements to Delphi, has TurboPascal introduced any sort of exectuteString command as in some dialects of Basic?I.e. a string is parsed and then if the interpreted string is validly executable it is directly carried out as if it was part of the original exe.In the days when we used to have to do things like program C64 and C128s for accounts/ invoices and wages, it was a very useful facility found in SuperBase.Paul
