Hi udo

I agree with sven :)

We could easily turn your blog into a chapter for a future book :)
I have the impression that the blog is how to avoid parsing and still get translation done!

Hi Sven,

thanks for the feedback.

I'll try to. It just always takes so long to write stuff. But I think you know that, don't you? :-)

CU,

Udo

Hi Udo,

This is really an excellent article: I enjoyed reading it a lot.

It is well written, has lots of relevant code examples and a nice pace, but above all it is really interesting.

Thanks a lot.

Keep that kind of stuff coming, it is very helpful.

All,

I just finished a blog entry. It shows how to use Smalltalk blocks as parsers/translators. E.g. translating a Block

    [:customer | (customer joinDate year is: Date today year)]

into an SQL-like String

    (YEAR(customers.joinDate) = 2014)

The SQL stuff is just an example - you can create nearly any output.

Check out http://readthesourceluke.blogspot.de/2014/09/block-translators-parsing-magic.html

Maybe that's old stuff for some of you - but I hope it's interesting for some at least :-)

Comments and feedback appreciated.

CU,

Udo
