@Benjaminel: I'm trying to emulate the Python "with" style, which is more
general-purpose than just files. I think that "using" in C# is similar, to take
any given resource for a block, and then auto-close it for you at the end of
that block.
@Others:
Thanks for the replies so far! So, I another question
1\. Can you update the macro so that it can work without an "as X" clause?
eg, something like this:
echo "I'm anywhere on the filesystem"
with changeDir("/tmp/x"):
echo "I am now under /tmp"
echo "I'm back to where I was before"
Which then would expand to something along these lines:
echo "I'm anywhere on the filesystem"
var private_x = changeDir("/tmp/x")
var private_y = my_enter(private_x)
try:
echo "I am now under /tmp"
finally:
my_exit(private_y)
echo "I'm back to where I was before"
Would like to be able to have a "with" macro that supports both forms, based on
whether there is an "as" clause.
Thanks!
