Hi itistoday: I was aware of your object library, and also aware of newlisp's reference passing (or limitations thereof). Before proceding along your path, or any path that instantiates objects, I'd like to ask your opinion of the following: The example that I cite of python can be expanded to more ...

Hi: In python I can do this: >>> inner = [] >>> outer1 = [] >>> outer2 = [] >>> outer1.append(inner) >>> outer2.append(inner) >>> inner.append(1) >>> outer1 [[1]] >>> outer2 [[1]] How may I do the same thing in newlisp? > (set 'outer1 '() 'outer2 '()) () > (push inner outer1) (()) > (push inner oute...

Maybe I should elaborate further on my originating intent for this posting. I see that cormullion "gets it", but I fear that other may not: First some history: As a web programmer, I have written a lot of modules in both python and rebol. I need that same functionality from newlisp if I am going to ...

Presumably you can use (push chr buf -1) rather than (append ... Haven't checked but it might be OK. Cool. Would save some 'set forms Also, I think dostring has a built-in indexing - $idx - this might be usable and save you running your own counter. Of course! That cond structure is deep - but why ...

still there is much talk "about" the issue, but no specifications. Tell using very short one-line examples what is input and what is the expected output - otherwise all talk is useless. Supposing you got this as input: <fieldset><legend><a href="javascript:;" onmousedown="toggleCombined('18');"> <f...

There is an O'Reilly book called "Javascript: The Good Parts". It includes a nice parser in the back, only takes 3 pages of very clean code. Perhaps it would be best to include a javascript parser inside your parser? Ted I do a lot with javascript <sigh!> I have javascript functions that load data ...

Understood.
Thanks!

Hopefully by this time unixtechie groks the issue with javascript.... the code here http://newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3386 is both shorter and much faster, but doesn't handle the javascript. And I'm sure that is the solution that unixtechie refers to. A more complete (language...

I've written a newlisp function that processes a string and returns a list of of elements where markup tags are separated from plaintext. There is an implementation featured here: http://newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3386 But it doesn't handle javascript code. The function works ...

One could use a brute-force, iterate-on-every-character approach that would overcome this problem by consolidating a tag, identifying its type and ignore certain '>s' and '<s'. It would be a performance hit, but the data structure could be stored by 'save and only rebuilt on an mtime check when the ...

I just did a test and it seems to work fine. I included a simple javascript function between a<script></script> tag. This is great. I recommend this as a native. Between that and xml-parse there would be a powerful tool. BTW: This is the beginning of a project for me: And that is to decompose html t...

Rebol has a function/refinement called load/markup that parses a string, url or file into alternating text and tags. I would like to be able to do that in newlisp. I've tried xml-parse with no luck, although xml-parse does a wonderful job of parsing individual markup tags into a data structure. Did ...

Looks like cookies are being set now. Thanks Ryon. I know this has
been a lot of work. I hope you are paid well. I also see that there is a
"notify me" option default to on.
Good work!
tim

OK.
1) The forum is no longer setting a cookie on my firefox browser
2) Still no option to subscribe (email notification)
Or perhaps I'm not seeing it.
Please advise.
Maybe we need a forum written in Newlisp? :) Just kidding.

Yes. It is now working for me.
Thanks

Tim and HPW, this site is being served with a temporary URL. The URL will be changing soon to newlispfanclub.alh.net, and any of today's bookmarks will be invalid. Do you have enough functionality to hold out for a few days until we get the domain transferred? Not a problem. I haven't used bookmark...

Sorry Ryon.
Still isn't setting bookmarks for me on Firefox 3.0.14 on Kubuntu Linux 8.04.
thanks
tim

Looking good. I can now get into the other forums.
But forum is still not remembering my login/password.
It doesn't look like cookies are being set.
Also, I can't see how to subscribe.......
thanks
tim

I had to click on a picture to get here.
Which one is Lutz in that picture?
Who else in the Newlisp community is there?
thanks

Using the approach that I describe above, I wrote a series of vimscript functions that initialize an object such as I've shown interest in and shown an example of: " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Given the variable name typed in, expands to...

This is turning out to be a great thread. Lots of ideas for a great list context.
tj

Following code is my starting point: (context 'lst) (set 'context-name "lst" ## name of context 'object-name "[none]" ## name of object 'data '() ## list - holds data ) (define(dbg) (println "Class: " context-name " Name: " object-name " Data: " data) ) (define (lst:clear) (set 'data '())) (define (...

From your manual, I've played with "redefining" protected symbols in contexts,
works good - so append could be re-used with an "object". Which I really like.
thanks

The more I use newlisp the more I like it. Mostly I find 'append to be an exception. I have found myself coding a lot of (set 'res(append res (list "blah" "blah1" "blah2"))) ;; untested This begs (IMHO) for a "reconstructive" (or "destructive", I like "reconstructive" better) function or a context. ...

Your $Depth idea reminds me of the number you see when you using the debugger - wonder if it's the same, and would be easy to adapt? I would guess that $DEPTH would be easy to adapt. The lisp approach to syntax parsing is devilishly simple. All hail John McCarthy! And I (think) would be basically e...
