I've been trying to go thru some ideas, right now .ini files are restricted to one file for each item: commandlist, hotkey, scheduled task. I just wanted to throw an idea of merging more than one of those items into a single .ini. while maintaining: -currently made structure -ini parser compliance The main problem is how does powerpro differentiate between a section header numbering being part of a commandlist, or hotkey, or scheduler and where to import it...right? It would change/?improve? several things: -eliminate having to have specify what you're importing: ImportCL, ImportSched etc. -allow greater freedom in import/export dialogs -allow the more complicated scripts to be merged into a single ini file. -OooOoo...couldn't a .powerpro file be build into an [xscript] section and be extracted at import to auto-create the .powerpro file in the /scripts/ folder. That'd be nice! (function to add bruce?) [xPPScript:filename] What if you had header-looking items that acted like html tags? [commandlist] [command list name] [1] [2] etc [/commandlist] [commandlist2] ;this would be the only drawback, having to incrementally number commandlists [command list name2] [1] [2] etc [/commandlist] [hotkey] [1] [2] etc [/hotkey] Ideas? Am I missing something that makes it impractical? Too much work? =) > I will be implementing conditional of form > ;if (expression) > stuff > ;else > other stuff > ;endif > > where expression will be evaluated by PowerPro (which must be > running). > > You can use this with include statements to mash together various > hot key files or event files or command list files into a single > virtual input file (of any one type). Sounds good! I can't picture it in my mind yet, but maybe once I get an example or two under my belt I'll be able to see it better =) David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 Powerpro Resources.
