Thanks Arjang. I'm after the low level tools, the tools that help tokenizing and then parsing the token streams. And the scripting engine you're talking used to be called InnerFuse - don't know its current name.
Also I'm not looking at code generation in the .Net sense of code generation. I'm mostly parsing configuration files. Those configuration files sometimes include computable expressions but that's as far as it goes! -- Cosmin Prund > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Arjang Assadi > Sent: 13 august 2007 04:22 > To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List > Subject: Re: About compiler-compilers, parsers > > There used to be something called DelphiWebScript, Or Delphi Script. > Remote Objects (makers of Chrome aka Delphi plugin for VS ) had some > components for scripting from within Delphi. > > >From what you described I am not 100% sure that you are actually after > a > scripting solution or just want parsers/tokenizers to help you with > something else. > > If generating code properly really matters for what you are doing then > maybe > you should have a look at code generation in .Net . > > Regards > Arjang > > > > On 8/13/07, Cosmin Prund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello everyone.
