Uday,
I haven't tested this a lot, but it seems to work fine. I stopped
using this early on in favour of another approach - since the
other approach allowed me to use my script files as is, and not
as defined in "Alias_list.txt"
I'll paste in my Aliases.powerpro - I don't advise using it as is
because I made some changes to it. What I'd advise is trying to
understand Luciano's script - and adding the bits concerning the
vector from below:
,----- [ Aliases.powerpro ]
| If (not Map.Exists (myAliasList)) Do
| fp = File.Open(pprofolder++"scripts\Alias_list.txt", "r")
| Counter = 0
| myAliasList = Map.Create(200)
| myAliasVec = Vec.Create(200,1)
| For(;not File.Eof(fp);)
| myLine = File.ReadString(fp)
| myRet1 = Regex.Match (myLine, "([^=]+)[\t]=[\t ]*(.*)", "\1",
"myKey")
| myRet2 = Regex.Match (myLine, "([^=]+)[\t]=[\t ]*(.*)", "\2",
"myValue")
| myAliasList[myKey] = myValue
| myAliasVec[&(counter)]= myKey
| counter = &(counter) + 1
| EndFor
| File.Close(fp)
| EndIf
| myChoice =inputdefault("alias","Enter Alias", "=myAliasVec")
| myRun = myAliasList[myChoice]
| Do (myRun, "", "")
|
| If((myChoice == "alias") AND (Map.Exists (myAliasList)))
| myAliasList = Map.Destroy(myAliasList)
`-----
So the most important lines are:
,-----
| myAliasVec = Vec.Create(200,1)
| myAliasVec[&(counter)]= myKey
| myChoice =inputdefault("alias","Enter Alias", "=myAliasVec")
`-----
The first creates the vector to be used in autocompletion, since
unfortunately maps can't be used.
The second initialises the vector with all the aliases. And the
third incorporates the autocomplete into the runbox.
Let me know if you have any problems.
