Is there someone not preoccupied with bug fixing who could give me a
conceptual guide to class baseScannerClass in leoImport.py? I've got
a bunch of ruby code to study, and I've got python envy - I'd like all
the ruby classes and methods in their own nodes. All several thousand
of them.
Ruby has blocks delimited with '{' and '}', but it also has a bunch of
control structures that go
begin
lots of other stuff
end
if condition
and who knows what
end
def function_name
stuff
end
while condition
yup, stuff
end
# but we can't just look for an end for every while, since
brief stuff while condition
# ...means that if "while" occurs while we're building an expression,
the
# implicit block precedes the while, and there is no "end"
# same for "if":
short stuff if condition
class class_name
def method_name
stuff
end
end
The other main challenge is dealing with strings, which come in the
multiform varieties similar to perl:
"this is a string expression\n"
"concat#{foobar}"
'concat#{foobar}'
%q!I said, "You said, 'She said it.'"!
%!I said, "You said, 'She said it.'"!
%Q('This is it.'\n)
`date`
%x{ date }
print <<END_OF_STRING
this is an example string
class foo
fun bar
no, this isn't a class, it's still the string
end
end
# yup, still a string
END_OF_STRING
# *that* was the end of the string
regexes are also perlish. Comments should be relatively easy:
# this is a comment line
=begin
everything between a line beginning with `=begin' and
that ends with `=end' at the beginning of the line will be skipped by
the interpreter.
=end
