Hi everyone, longtime Euphoriac here just getting started with 4.0.
I'd like to know, what is process_lines() for and how to use it?
I'm confused by the example given in the manual. process_lines() is a function yet in the example there is no result assigned, as if it was a procedure.
...
In general, the new manual does not clearly show what a function returns. The Eu3.x manual showed this easily, like so:
Syntax: s2 = append(s1, x)
We see at a glance that append() takes a sequence and an object and returns a sequence, and then a detailed explanation followed.
I wish the manual could be like this. An html version rather than (or in addition to) a pdf would be nice too.
Thanks for reading.
Lionel
