My latest project has been a REALbasic Language Reference parser. It reads the HTML LR files and extracts the classes, modules, interfaces, constants, properties, methods and functions (with their parameter names, parameter types and return values), events, and compiler directives that exist in the REALbasic frameworks. The results are written to an XML file for later processing by programming tools.
Interesting...this might be a good way to validate a hypothetical third-party language reference, which could presumably generate the same set of lists, for automatic comparison. Could it help jump-start the creation of such a reference, by eliminating a lot of the tedious drudgery? I'm not sure; there is still a large amount of the "how to" and example material to consider. In any case, I'd be interested in seeing the code and output if you care to make it available. lj _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
