Free to reuse library of text processing functions

[marielle]

A library of text processing functions is available at
lib_textprocessing (text)

How these functions can be used from anywhere within a stack
lib_textprocessing -- testsuite (text)

Examples of the format used to store the dictionary and categorisation data
list formats (gif)

In the testsuite, this call is often made "put api_ascii() into tAPIascii". For it to work from anywhere within your application, you also need to add this, within the script of your top stack.

Code: Select all

function api_ascii
  return the long id of group "api_ascii" of card 1 of stack "xxx_library" 
  -- I store all my libraries within groups, so that they can easily be 
  -- drag and dropped into new projects/applications. For instance the 
  -- text of the file lib_textprocessing is stored in the script of a group 
  -- named "api_ascii" found on the first card of my library stack.
  -- Replace with whatever is appropriate in your environment.
end api_ascii

Ah, yes, the datatype_validation calls are handle via the functions there:
lib_datatype_validation

which are set to be available from anywhere in the stack (either pasted in the script of the topstack, either inserted via a "start using" construct).
