This message is in MIME format. [email protected] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sometimes I like the subject line to be slightly misleading and perhaps make the content sound more cleverer than it is. plus one section of it loosely brought to mind atoms and stuff. BTW, the liberroneous is coming along nicely and i've kludged together some autotools stuff and now liberroneous is built and installed as a genuine library that can be linked against ( gcc myprog.c -lerroneous -o myprog ). recent investigations have revealed there were already in existence in the standard C library functions performing the function of some of the functions i've created in liberroneous. nevermind, mine are more sensibly named. anyway, the motion thing - this is a library which does stuff to ascii text and so how it's used is down to the developer using it - motion was certainly something i realised during creation the output i posted as 'string theory'. the section quoting Pall's message regarding art/language unfortunately got mangled by the webmail system when it sent. find proper version attached. i thought the motion thing here: the stripes could move horizontally. anything. code is not ready yet for release. investigations into things like: char* getpointerwithinastringsomehow(const char* str) where the return value is of type 'char*' and is a pointer within the string 'str' which is of type 'const char*' so warnings about conversion upon returning the ptr are emitted and look untidy and non professional so am gonna download and try getting my head round the standard C lib and looking into the implementations of the string functions (those in string.h) to see how they do it - if it's at all readable and not drowned in conditional compiles and macros and other weird stuff i know nothing about. yes theres aalib - an ascii art library, but liberroneous i trying to gear more toward being a library for text manipulation much like some of the scripts you use do. james On 10/7/2009, "Alan Sondheim" <[email protected]> wrote: > > >Why string theory and not string transformations?
