Unless 4D provides a command to get this information, I don't think there are 
any shortcuts - you need a real parser. You can get part of the way there in 
4D, but it is a very long road to get it right. You are better off using a 
language that has a parser generator. I wrote one in Lisp. If you want better 
direct integration with 4D, there are several parser generators available for 
Javascript.

I want to create a complete call chain (there may be several) of a given 
method. I know I can do this manually but it’s pain in complicated structures. 
If I could find a way to determine all methods called by a given method, I 
could do this for each method, store the info in database and easily create my 
call chain. In other words, I want to parse all methods like 4D Insider did and 
then used the parsed information to create the call chain in one easy step. I’m 
only interested in methods at this point. The latest Get Method Code does 
return some tokens, but not for methods; otherwise I could use that.

Yeah, not much sleep. If you did want to go with the brute-force method,
you would also need to (at the least):

* Excise all comments first.

* Figure out what to do about Begin/End SQL blocks.

* Figure out what to do with things that are named the same, like
fields/vars/methods.

Re: Tokens for Methods?

[Keisuke Miyako]

would you be willing to share what is it you want accomplish?
normally I would select a method in the Explorer and "search for dependencies" 
from the context menu.
the result contains the method it self, which is a bit weird, but you can drag 
and drop the list to any text editor.

Tokens for Methods?

[Richard Wright]

Does anyone know how 4D tokenizes method names? I can get the method resource 
into a blob using API Pack and would very much like to be able to extract all 
methods that are called.
