I have a couple of things to mention.
First thing is that I don't receive the Euphoria list.
I don't usually program in Euphoria anymore. I do plan
to get back to the language but it doesn't fit into my
present work habits.
Second thing is that the problem I ran into was only
reported because I was attempting to use EE with Win95's
"Drag & Drop" feature. I was only using it for that
purpose because I was showing Greg Harris, who presently
programs in Euphoria, How he can use the "Send To" and
"Drag & Drop" features of Win95 for his programming.
Obviously my attempts to show him the use of these
features failed misserably because of bad code in EE.
It took me about 2 hours to track down the problem.
Who is going to pay the $60.00 that is now due to me?
Before all of you go responding viciously to that last
statement remember my very First statement. I don't
receive the Euphoria list. Therefore I won't receive
your immature bickerings about the $30.00 I mentioned.
--------------------------------------------------------
original full_path_name().
Problem is this.
If the file that is passed is an absolute pathname.
the program will fail.
--------------------------------------------------------
--original
global function full_path_name( sequence file )
-- appends file name to current directory
-- append the path to the file name
if last_char( currentDir ) = '\\' then
return currentDir & file
else
return currentDir & "\\" & file
end if
end function
--------------------------------------------------------
--new
-- unfortunately this still isn't enough.
-- David, we need your help.
--I have tracked the problem to the checking
--of previously loaded files.
--It matches the title as if it were previously loaded
--because you set the title before loading it from the
--command_line(). This prevents the program from loading
--absolute filenames.
-- I will fix the remaining problems within the next
--day or two. Who's going to pay for that also? :)
-- Don't forget. I'm Lucius L. Hilley III
--------------------------------------------------------
global function full_path_name( sequence file )
-- appends file name to current directory
-- append the path to the file name
if file[2] = ':' then
return file --full path given.
elsif file[1] = '\\' then
--full path lacked Drive letter.
return currentDir[1..2] & file
elsif last_char( currentDir ) = '\\' then
--relative path given
return currentDir & file
else
--relative path given but currentDir is missing
--the ending backslash "\".
return currentDir & "\\" & file
end if
end function
