OpenEuphoria

Some useful routines [LONG]

Based on some of the remarks that were made in response to my
suggestion to extend the Euphoria slice mechanism, I got to
thinking about just how flexible Euphoria is.  To prove it to
myself, I came up with a whole bunch of useful routines.  I've
included them here.  Most of them have sufficient comments to
make any additional comments superfluous; those that aren't,
I've added comments as appropriate.

-- stddefs.e

-- Standard definitions for general use

-- bool type - FALSE and TRUE

global constant bFALSE=0
global constant bTRUE=1

global type bool(integer b)
    return b=bFALSE or b=bTRUE
end type

-- standard file handles

global constant STD_IN=0
global constant STD_OUT=1
global constant STD_ERR=2

-- errorexit - prints message and exits, setting exit code.

global procedure errorexit(integer exitcode, sequence msg)
    puts(STD_ERR, msg)
    abort(exitcode)
end procedure

-- xslice - extended slices - allows discontinuous subscripts

global function xslice(sequence var, sequence subscripts)
    sequence result

    result = {}
    for i = 1 to length(subscripts) do
        if subscripts[i] > length(var) then
            errorexit(1,"Invalid subscript in extended slice.\n")
        end if
        result = append(result,var[subscripts[i]])
    end for
    return result
end function


-- trim function - returns string stripped of leading and trailing spaces

global function trim(sequence s)
    sequence t

    if length(s)=0 then
        return s
    end if
    t = s
    while (t[1]=' ') or (t[1]='\t') or (t[1]='\n') or (t[1]='\r') do
        t = t[2..length(t)]
        if length(t)=0 then
            return t
        end if
    end while
    while (t[length(t)]=' ') or (t[length(t)]='\t') or
          (t[length(t)]='\n') or (t[length(t)]='\r') do
        t = t[1..length(t)-1]
        if length(t)=0 then
            return t
        end if
    end while
    return t
end function

-- left - returns leftmost slice of length i of a string

global function left(sequence s, integer i)
    if i > length(s) then
        errorexit(1,"Can't slice more than the whole thing.\n")
    end if
    return s[1..i]
end function

-- right - returns rightmost slice of length i of a string

global function right(sequence s, integer i)
    if i > length(s) then
        errorexit(1,"Can't slice more than the whole thing.\n")
    end if
    return s[length(s)-i+1..length(s)]
end function

-- cmdline.e - provides enhanced command line processing
-- Jeff Zeitlin (jeff.zeitlin at execnet.com)

-- switch processing - switches are case-sensitive; i.e., /s != /S

-- switch(object s)
--   Is there a switch s on the command line?
--   Accepts either /s or -s as valid switch.
--   Returns 0 for no switch, param # if exists

-- switchval(object s, integer valrequired)
--    returns sequence containing one of:
--      switch /s not present:  0 (atom)
--      switch /s present:      param # (atom)
--      valrequired = 1:
--        switch of form /sx:   x as sequence (text)
--        switch of form /s x:  x as sequence (text)
--        switch not present:   0 (atom)
--      valrequired = 0
--        switch of form /sx:   x as sequence (text)
--        switch of form /s x:  param # (x may != value) (atom)
--        switch not present:   0 (atom)
--    leading character of switch may be - or /
