...No, I was thinging "simple", RR complicated IHMO, for instance, how is:
I'm afraid you are thinking far to complicated, especialy in this case....
if myNewCustomProp is empty then put return & "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys
simpler than:
put "myNewCustomProp" after myCustomKeys
I don't hink that the terms "simple" or "difficult" apply here...
The programmer/scripter is responsible for supplying data to the engine in a format
that the engine can handle...
The engien gives a damn about empty lines, but YOUR scripts may cause trouble in that case...
Most things in RR are "natural", i mean they are just like they are, no misteries :-)Yes!
Therefore i suggested to think of a list as a field (maybe with "listbehaviour" set to true)...But anyway, surely it would be MUCH better to have each item finish with a return,Are you sure? ;-)
that way you would never have to worry about the "empty" test.
Quod erat demonstrandum! ;-)
Even in that case you could end up with an empty item, if you don't check for "emptyness"!!!How so? If you always did:
put "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys
this would work regardless of the current contents of myCustomKeys!
Of course you'd get an empty line if you just did:
put return after myCustomKeys
but in that case you'd be explicity asking for an empty line and the same would be true of appending the return to the start of the new property anyway!
You are exspecting a "thinking" engine?
"Hmmm, put "myNewCustomProp" & return after myCustomKeys? That will procude an empty line!
I am sure the user does not want this, so i simply delete the trailing CR when nobody is looking..." :-D
See below...
And how could you differ LINES in that case? Sorry, but that would not work.
Don't understand what you mean "differ LINES".
You suggested to separate "items" by CR, and that way, we could not differ "lines", because then
CR would not separate "lines" anymore! ;-)
Why wouldn't the above work? Seems to me like it would work better than what is there already.
Sure, with a "thinking" engine, that takes care of empty lines...
I live in a land where terms that are mentioned in dictionaries aught be have those terms in the dictionary!Well haveing definitions of parameters in the dictionary would be one step towards that,Just wish they would give a definition of the parameters in commands etc.I wish there was peace on earth ;-)
at least in my corner of the world!!!C'mon David! Where do you live? Absurdistan? :-D
Sounds like heaven, if that's the only problem in your country :-D
What i really mean is: Get you some humor!
That's absolutely essential, if one is creating software and working with tools of any kind ;-)
All the Best Dave
