For anyone interested, I have made some minor modifications to the options.icn file from the IPL. Just by accident, I found that it allows a single non-alphanumeric character to be an option name. Examples are -#, -[, etc. This ability is not described within the documentation in the file.
The minor modifications that i have made is to add an additional parameter to the procedure. This parameter allows one to specify an option or a list of options that will stop the extraction of options from the command line arguments. The standard value for this in the original procedure was --. This is still the default in my code. The reason for making these changes is due to the outcome of a brief conversation with Steve Wampler. we were discussing some possible changes for the unicon compiler and unicon language. In following up Steve's suggestions, I have been looking at the unicon compiler code. i noticed that the option processing didn't use the options procedure. I understand this is due to the specific requirements of the unicon compiler. I have made changes to options.icn to allow its use within the unicon compiler. If anyone is interested in my updates, please contact me and I'll pass them onto you. A question to you all. Has anyone created a version of the inbuilt function bal which uses two strings for the balance criteria instead of csets? I have a specific need for this and if someone has already done so, I would like to utilise your expertise instead of reinventing the wheel. regards to all this wonderful autumn evening.
