I agree. I've added some minor stuff in recent versions: - base64 encode/decode in one function (instead of streaming only) - symbolic has a simple "quickevaluate" to quick do calculations ( like 2+4+6, even simple var substitution is possible ) I recently copied the TProcess wiki example to get the output of an exe in a string for the 3rd or 4th time, so that was my next target. A bit like ExecuteProcess, one variant that operates on a whole cmdline (but only the most basic separation) and one array of const style. > That's why people use perl et al. That is IMHO a bridge too far :-) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
