I found there was a problem with the linking in ElfData that stopped ElfData working on Vista unless MSVCRT71.dll was added to Vista. I'm surprised no one...
Hi everyone, I've got a new algorithm in the works. This one promises to give us the best of an array with the best of a dictionary, with the worst of neither....
Hey Theodore, have you ever considered to make your code available as Python module? C/C++ Python modules have much the same structure as REALbasic plugins,...
Hi everyone, two questions. 1) Does anyone know some good code for hash maps that work on 32 bit integers for both key and value (not strings). And that...
... Which is why I'm asking about hashes, because hashes might be a better way to go given my new "life circumstances", than inventing my own data structure...
Hi everyone, I'm unsubscribing from the REALbasic plugins list, because I'm fed up of being blocked. It seemed that Dana Mason saw that she hadn't made my life...
Ok everyone, I have a new ElfData out! This version has no bug fixes, because my plugin is bug free :D But I did add some new classes. ObjectMap and...
Hi everyone, I just released ElfData v5.26 The main feature is that I renamed ObjectSet, to "SetOfObjects". This is to avoid a clash with Einhugur. Also, I...
Seeing as I got impatient waiting for Cameron, I've done my own tests... My test looks good to me, although you might want to check for yourself. This was in...
Oh... in case you don't know what this is about. Some guy called Cameron on the RBNUG, asked for a faster simpler way to count the number of lines in a file. ...
Hi everyone, I got bought RB 2009. ElfData plugin itself works flawlessly there. Although some of my projects need fixing. One thing that seems to have changed...
So I found a bug, after many months or years or whatever it is. I can't remember the last bug or when it happened... The funny thing about this bug, is that it...
Nevermind... turns out this "bug" was fixed a long time ago. Even in RB2007... (I'm talking about the bug where "if e <> nil then" would fail with a ...
So... I've worked on a new function for ElfData. Another file processing function. ElfData.FileListing This one, will list the children of a directory. It is...
Hi everyone, I've got a new version of ElfData out. ElfData v5.3 For those who don't know, ElfData is the most advanced string processing library for...
... Thatwas meant to read FolderItem.FastString (allows writing to a file) FolderItem.ElfDataFields (allows streaming a file in, very fast) don't worry I...
Hi everyone, I'll be making a new class, ElfDataTokenizer. ElfDataTokenizer will be useful for writing a code parsing framework. While ElfDataParser was good...
I agree. The ElfDataParser certainly did the trick, but could be a royal pain in the butt to get code parsing to work flawlessly. Depending on complexity of...
OK... so I finally have some time to work on my ElfData plugin again. I've been busy the past few months but now I can work again. I've got an early version of...
OK, I added support for negative numbers to my ElfDataTokeniser demo. And I added support for "spaces". So now you can do stuff like this: "2*a / -c" Or even "...
OK so my ElfDataTokeniser works. I have a nice demo project. Now I just gotta add some docs :) Hopefully I can do the docs, and make a new ElfData package...
Read about: http://elfdata.com/plugin/ Direct download: http://elfdata.com/plugin/elfdata.zip New in 5.4: * Added the ElfDataTokeniser class! Useful for...
So I added a few methods to FastString, so it can use the writeable interface. I'm surprised I didn't think of this before, really... I'm not sure who uses the...
Hi Tom, ElfData can help you parse complicated stuff, yes. However, it's still going to be a hard problem (I imagine) with or without ElfData. You'd need to...
Hi Tom, Thinking about this more, the best question is "where to start". What level of complexity or correctness or speed are you aiming for? Do you want a...
Well my interest lies in being able to access the author, creation date, last used date, etc. These are normally accessible via right clicking the file in...
Hi Tom, ... Well... I'm not sure how many is "many", or how fast you need it to run. If you aren't the expert in parsing data formats, perhaps you'd want to...
Hi Tom, If I am guessing right... I think what you are asking for is a little advice on how to write the code to parse your excel format? So it's more a "how...
Theo, Well my question is partly parsing excel, but also the idea of using something thats fast and efficient to do it with as well...your plugin. Considering...
