I don’t know the answer to your question…but it sounds similar to some
functionality I was looking for a while back. I wanted to be able to pass a
range of line numbers to include and only have those lines executed.
Sometime like include(script.jl, 1:100) which would only run lines 1-100. I
ended up writing the following function and putting it in my .juliarc.jl.
It seems to work fine for my use case. Not sure if it will be useful to you
tho.
function Base.include{T<:Int}(path::AbstractString, lines::AbstractVector{T})
lns = open(readlines, path)
include_string(join(lns[lines]))
end
