As a comparative beginner, I still find myself stumbling across RTL functions
that I've previously hand-coded.
Is there an easy way of generating a complete permuted index from the
one-line descriptions of the functions in the RTL (and optionally FCL and
LCL)?
Shortly said: no.
For example, can I rapidly get all function descriptions with "space" as part
of the description, which could subsequently be filtered (e.g. if I were
interested in text operations I could quickly ignore anything with "file" in
the description)?
Copy2Space Returns first space character
Copy2SpaceDel Deletes first space character
DelSpace Delete a space from
DelSpace1 Reduces of space characters
DelSpace1 Reduces 1 space character
IntToBin Converts inserting spaces at
IsEmptyStr Check disregaring whitespace characters
That's somewhat abbreviated so that it's not screwed too badly by wrap.
Creating such an index requires additional keywords, which are simply not
present now.
That said, I am still looking for a good search engine *written in Object
pascal* for the FPC html docs. Any hints/tips are appreciated.
Michael.
