Hi Jed, > I think that is just going to be a lot of regular expressions and text parsing and, while that may not be trivial, I at least have a pretty good idea how to make it work.
The trick to text parsing is to tokenise the text first, i.e. perform a preliminary step that converts a flat string of characters like `xyz = i * 99` into a list of tokens like ["xyz", "=", "i", "*", "99"]. You can then process the tokens without having to worry about having to ignore things like whitespace and comments. You can either do the tokenisation in one fell swoop up front, or get the parser to call a tokenise function whenever it needs the next token. I recently wrote a parser for the new railroad diagram plugin, which you may find helpful: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/plugins/tiddlywiki/railroad – æ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
