Hi dear friends , I want to know if anyone knows " TCL " (tool command language) programming , and what is the differences On Tcl I work with Tcl at work, but the version we got at work has a lot of niceties, but it's still a Tcl engine. Tcl is a fine language for systems applications rather than w...

Hi: It's been a while since I've played with Geany's configuration files. keywords vs. special keywords = one color vs another color. It will be probably up to your taste to decide one vs another and see how colorization helps you. I took a look at the newlisp.el and all the keywords are in "keyword...

Speaking of GitHub repositories. I have been adding xymon/hobbit/bb monitoring scripts in https://github.com/papoanaya/monitor_newlisp . I've been coding them to monitor different components at home. If you're familiar with Xymon, you'll see that the structure used is similar to other scripts writte...

It looks interesting, thanks to Wendal for posting examples because my Chinese is non existent :)

Hi: While working in a client site I had to port the shell scripts used by the wmii window manager to newlisp. They are available at github.com. (https://github.com/papoanaya/wmii_newlisp), if you want to play with them. These programs uses newlisp to handle the wmii window manager; a stacking windo...

Hi: One post in comp.lang.lisp stated that "thou shall know macros to get thy mastery of ye LISP arcana", hence decided to explore macros for fun and amusement. Sadly here in the forum if you do a search on macro (or define macros) nothing shows up, hence decided to write a small post about macros. ...

Ok, the following is a continuation on the code. The problem that I was having with the original code is that newlisp was not terminating when dzen2 exited. The issue resides in the way xdm collapses the session and was not killing the newlisp process. Even though you may keep the process id to remo...

Hi: Well, you try to solve a problem with the best tool available. I do have some of the alternate code available but the objective was to parse code from externally called programs. One thing I forgot was to show a screenshot, with apologies for the pogoplug advertisement. http://ppl.ug/36KmI1CcORc...

Hi again It's been a while, but I still use new lisp for various things as time permit. In this case this is more of a study in system or utilities than anything else. One piece of software I've been dabbling of late is called dzen2. For more information you can go to http://sites.google.com/site/go...

Not that I am familiar with it, but it would entail configuring it to identify .lsp extensions as executables and make sure that all your cgi are have execution priviledges with a !# indicating the location of the interpreter. Perhaps as al alterntive would be to use new lisp as a surrogate server a...

I was dabbling one night and I decided to translate the code to create sequence diagrams from websequencediagrams.com from python to newLisp. The code might need some improvement, but it does work for me. ;; ;; Web Sequence Diagram Interface ;; (define (url-encode str) (replace {([^a-zA-Z0-9])} str ...

No way to do OLE/COM with newLISP and most likely never will be. OLE/COM is very complex and requires a lot of code to implement. Lutz That's ok, I can get by with loading dll's. That's a very powerful feature by itself, specially the fact that wrappers do not need to be written for this to work. ....

pjot wrote:Hm, ok. But then I don't see the use of the 'case' statement. It can be withdrawn from newLisp completely, since all selections can be peformed with 'if' just as easy.

Well, there might be a case for "case" if there is less overhead than "if" or "cond".

Hi:

Even though NewLisp can load DLL's using the import function, is there any way to access COM components from newLisp? Probably this would solve some of the short comings like like of ODBC by using Jet and to be able to access Office from newLisp.

Hi: I wrote the following small macro for syntax highlight. It's very basic, but demonstrates how newLISP can be used when you are not in the mood of coding a lot of VBA code for mundane things like that. (I guess I could've used VBA string search routines, but I wanted to try it out anyway. :) Papo...
