1. Field's DataBases
Hi Folks.
Bom dia para todos.
( Good day for all )
You just know about my English, so please, stay
patience.
I am trying to made a DataBase.
The first program creates and are the modifier of
all DataBases structures. He handles names, types
and sizes of all DataBase's fields. No probles in
this step.
Another program will open everyone DataBase if
he is created with the above refer program.
After it, i can read field's names inside the
opened DataBase, like this:
name_first_field = line_config_database[1..10]
or read type's fields as
type_second_field = line_config_database[...and
so go.
The problem is: I want use this field's name like
as any variables, but i don't know how declare it
and Euphoria don't works with pointers like "C"
I believe you will understand better in down
lines.
If i know how variables the program will works,it
is easy, just declare it like as:
sequence NAME -- no problems
But the program was running and in any moment
it receives a information that it will need
works with a new variable type sequence named
"NAME" and in the next lines, I would to do
anything like this
NAME = "Sergio Gelli"
But the variable "NAME" isn't was declared because
this program only know about its when opens the
DataBases.
How can i do it?
Exists another format to do it?
I will stay gratefully for any suggestions.
Muito obrigado pela sua atencao.

Hello Sergio!
Okay, I *think* I know what you are talking about here. 
You are
basically wanting to store a variable name, and its value in the database
file. This can be done with Euphoria ... sort of. Make one sequence, say
sVars, for instance. In sVars, you will need elements with the following
format:
{Variable Name, Value}
Here's some very untested code:
sequence
sVars
procedure addVariable(sequence sVariableName, object xValue)
sVars & {sVariableName, xValue}
end procedure
function getValue(sequence sVariableName)
if not length(sVars) then
puts(1, "Oops. No variables declared.\n")
return
end if
for i 1 to length(sVars) do
if equal(sVariableName, sVars[i][1]) then
return sVars[i][2]
end if
end for
puts(1, "Couldn't find that variable. Sorry.\n")
return 0
end function
Hope this helps you out some. I'm having to do the same thing in the
Euphoria Package compiler for user defined variables declared in EPC
makefiles.

Dang!
Sorry about the **unformatted**, untested code. 
Getting used to my new
email program, and it seems to have screwed up.

In Eu, there is no the straight way to
save the Eu *native* program code into the
string and then to load and execute it on
the fly.
(You ask about the string execution, yes ?).
But somewhat similar is possible with a
*machine code*, which you can place into the
sequence (same as save) and then execute
after poke() with call() (same as load and run).
This trick is very very rare thing here.
Maybe more simple way is to save new native
Eu program code in the file.e and then
just use system_exec() to run this file.e
with another copy of Eu interpreter.
New machines have just large memory for
such an aerobatics.

P.S. 'zh' sounds as J in the word 'Jundiai'.
I think, I do not know exactly, or almost as j
in my favourite English 'just' word
without the first like 'd' sound.
'j' sounds as 'y' in 'May' word.
'y' sounds almost as 'y' in 'system' word.
n' is very soft n.
Boney M sing - Crazy Russian, no ?

I can read and quite understant Russian, if
it is written in latinic. (Pan-Slavic understanding
However, I can't read Azbuka characters. Is there a tool
for translating Azbuka -> latinic ?
S pozdravy,

Such a tool must be different for the different
latinic languages to have a good practical
transcription (rules of pronunciation).
I have two tables for this transcription
(by AS USSR and by ISO) in my
The Linguistic Encyclopedic Dictionary.
These tables are somewhat *classic* for
*international* typography, not for computers.
And there are *local* rules for this
transcription in different countries,
first of all, for the correct transliteration
of Russian names with the latinic letters.
Tomorrow, I'll prepare these *classic* tables
as .bmp with my polyglot editor and post it
to you.
Then you'll can make that tool for youself,
if you want, with your native puter's code pages.
You'll can see that really 'zh' above is not
'zh', but just 'z' with one of diacritics.
Vsego horoshego !
(All good for you !)
