strange script evaluation - 11/10/08 06:56 AM
The function (not identifier, lets get this shit right, it's a function) $read evaluates one too many times. For example, I have written a function to echo the filename and contents of each script loaded. If any of your scripts use a $identifier or %identifier these will be evaluated on output rather than the name of the $identifier/%identifier. This is extremely awkward for a scripting/programming language. Get your shit together, man.
Code:
alias ScriptStuff {
var %a
var %b
var %l
var %s
var %x
var %y = $script(0)
echo -- scripts loaded: %y
%x = 1
while (%x <= %y) {
%s = $script(%x)
%b = $lines(%s)
%a = 1
echo $+(script[,%x,]) = %s
echo ----------
while (%a < %b) {
echo $+(line[,%a,]) = $read(%s,%a)
inc %a
}
echo ----------
inc %x
}
}
