Macros

[rejetto]

you could, with the macro i just told

[Mars]

my {.min build|183}  or   {.min build|183|alert-text.} is a shortcut of

{.if|{.and|{.match|127.0.0.1|%ip%.}|{.%build%<183.}.}|alert-text.}

Code: [Select]

if (name ='min build') then
  begin
  result:=''; 
  if addressmatch('127.0.0.1',md.cd.conn.address) then
    if par(1)>'' then result:=par(1)
                 else msgdlg('This template requires at least the build version '+p+' of hfs to work completely');
  end;


[rejetto]

this is a feature used only once and only in few templates.
i don't think we need a shortcut.

is there a new bug in the for loop from build 179 to 183? or changed sintax?
loopvar seems to have always final value!

with build #179:
{{for|ii|1|8|{{\[{{^ii}}]/}}}}  works

output:  [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

with build #183:
{.for|ii|1|8|{:[{.^ii.}]:}.} does not work

output: [8][8][8][8][8][8][8][8]

hfs or my error ?

macro FOR EACH has the same bug

I am happy , i found where was the bug

theVar:=format('{{^%s}}',[p]);    into functions: for_ () and foreach()

repaced by theVar:=format(MARKER_OPEN +'^%s'+MARKER_CLOSE,[p]);   

[rejetto]

yes, i fixed foreach as well
but i will wait to publish, to collect some more news

macros' syntax just doesn't allow spaces before the name of the macro.
this is always true except for infix operators like {. 3 >  2 .}

[rejetto]

i didn't mean what the code does or not.
i meant what's the expected syntax, and what you can expect to be working correctly now and in the future.
the trim is there because spaces are allowed after the name.

anyway, at the moment there's no important reason for this rule, but i think we can ignore the problem of space^var.

I remove what I said,  'for i:=1 to -1 do msgdlg( inttostr(i));' is never executed in the delphi language

i am deleting all my post about this subject

Would it be possible to add a new simple macro {.hex|xx.} ?

This would be useful for me when working with plaintext files to detect or replace the linebreaks.

examples: (csv holds the whole text loaded}

{.count substring |{.hex|0d.}{.hex|0a.}|{.^csv.}.}   to count lines

or:

{.replace|{.hex|0d.}{.hex|0a.}|<br />|{.^csv.}.} to insert line breaks

[rejetto]

no sorry, that solution cannot be.

what i can do is to preserve spaces in {.replace.} and {.count substring.}
the problem is a feature: for the user's convenience macros ignore blanks.
some macros don't, because blanks can be useful, so i can just add these to the list.
i will if no one complains.

for readability you can

Code: [Select]

{.set|nl|{:
:}.}
and then use (in next build) {.replace|{.^nl.}|<br>|{.^csv.}.}

Is it possible on base HFS to make the guest book? So that the records in it would remain in the machine, in which was established HFS.

[rejetto]

if they made a shoutbox, you can make a guestbook
