1. Making Librarys "something.e"
Hi All
Ive had Euphoria for a little over a week. Having
used QuickBasic for years and a very little 'C' , it didnt take long
to realy appreciate Euphoria. Yep its now registered to me too! :')
My question is this: Can I just take some Procedures I am
using in a program and save them as a 'something.e' file then
call each Procedure as I do the ready made librarys? I'd like
to do this so I dont have to look at them all the time while Im
coding my program.
Perhaps somebody could do a little tutor on all that needs to
go into a library.
Guess I should just experiment. LOL (brave soul that I am.)
Thank you
Gene Mannel

Greetings
Yes, you can create an include file to contain many procedures and functions
you made, or others made as well.
Chapter 28 of "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria" shows you how to create a
simple include file to store a procedure. I've copied the information from
the tutorial to show you here.
1) -------include file d2808a.e starts here -----------------
global sequence valid_capitals
valid_capitals = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
global procedure show_trademark()
puts(1,"**********************************************\n")
puts(1,"* Copyright 1997 Mom, The Cat Smells Funny! *\n")
puts(1,"* Productions *\n")
puts(1,"* *\n")
puts(1,"* |\\\\\"\"\"//| *\n")
puts(1,"* {_ O O _} *\n")
puts(1,"* {/~\\} *\n")
puts(1,"* \"\"\" *\n")
puts(1,"**********************************************\n")
end procedure
-----------------------------------------------------
2) Program referencing include file starts
here -----------------------------------------------------
include d2808a.e
print(1,find('J',valid_capitals))
puts(1,"\n\n")
show_trademark()
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Gene
You've got the right idea for making libraries.
If you want to call a procedure from something.e from a program main.ex,
then the procedure or function if something.e must be declared as a global
procedure or function.
ie
something.e
procedure foo()
do something
end function
global procedure bar()
foo
something else
end procedure
main.ex
bar
You can call bar from main, but not foo, which remains local to the library
and can only be used from within it
