the source code for my implementation a replacement for the SciTE
command system, for both Win32 and GTK.
Is there a description on what exactly this is and does? I'm curious :)
It is a rewrite of the tool/command/job system. I wanted to be able to
call external programs from within a Lua script, but I found the
os.execute() to be too limited. I had first talked about this maybe a
year ago and Neil gave me some suggestions.
So allow for the Lua system to add command's but not clash with the
multi-threaded command system I had to redesign it. I got it working in
Win32 but received no help on implementing it in GTK, so that had to
wait until I got my Mandriva box running.
Which I did, and I've got the code working in GTK now as well.
The 'command.go.needs....' system could even be extended so that instead
of a simple two-step process it could be three or more. I know you
could write a batch/shell script to do that, but some people are rigid
in their wants and needs.
Or instead of re-writing the 'command.needs...' system you could create
a Lua script:
scite.Execute("step 1...")
scite.Execute("step 2...")
scite.Execute("step 3...")
Oh, I forgot to include the change to the SciTELua.html file (I think
that is the one). I'll have to locate an old copy and upload it.
Is this enough enough information?
