Hi, I am new to Mono, but becoming a big fan quickly (more detail below regarding what I am doing with it). To get right to the point, however, I would appreciate advice on how to *programmatically* set the value of a variable that can be seen inside the Evaluator, e.g.,
var temp = Evaluator.Evaluate("..."); Evaluator.PutVar("x", temp); // so such method exists! Evaluator.Run("... x ..."); I would like the value of x in the third line above to be the object that was returned from the call to Evaluate in the first line. Now, obviously, if the value of temp is a number or a string, I can just concatenate it into the string argument to Run, e.g., "..."+temp+"...". But that doesn't work if temp is some other data structure. It is tantalizing that Evaluator has a GetVars() method (even though it returns a string)---so it is indeed keeping track of the defined variables! Btw, I wouldn't mind if I needed to initialize x with a var statement at the start. So I guess, for the long term, I am asking for a new PutVar method; I am also hoping for some kind of workaround in the short term, so I can finish my project (see below). Is there some way to directly access the global Mono environment (from C#) to simply set a variable? Thanks in advance, -Chuck P.S. My larger project is converting an AI system for controlling NPC's, written in Java, for use in Unity3d. I have used ikvmc (see ikvm.net) successfully to do the Java translation, but there is a remaining problem with changing the embedded scripting language to C# (to easily access Unity3d game state---like the REPL at https://github.com/MrJoy/UnityREPL), which leads this email. -- Dr. Charles Rich, Professor of Computer Science Interactive Media and Game Development Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Fuller Laboratories B25b 100 Institute Road, Worcester, MA 01609-2280 Email: r...@wpi.edu Phone: 508-831-5945 Fax: 508-831-5776 Home: http://www.cs.wpi.edu/~rich _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
