Jac and All, I am not meaning to pick on Jacques, but his Filelist.e has exposed some serious problems that we very much need to explore if we are to successfull share code, and in the process, expand on the usability of Euphoria. I have spent a good deal of time today trying to integrate both Jacque's and Fred's file selection functions into the Euphoria Editor. Fred's code worked 1st time thru, but lacks the ability to set a starting point, and REQUIRES a mouse (i hate mouses). so i moved on to Jacques code, which i liked very much in the test mode. Unfortunately, i ran into another coding conflict immediately when i tried to integrate it into ED.EX. ChooseFile() calls WILDCARD.E (is this jacques code or someone elses?). Wildcard.e attempts to redefine LOWER() function which is already defined in ED.EX Upon closer examination, i find that there are several instances of this type of conflict in the include files from various Euphoria authors. Problem: in a nut shell, if we are to share code/functions and extend the euphoria language in the process, we should identify common function like UPPER, LOWER or LCASE, UCASE, MIN, MAX and many others. Perhaps, develop a schema for naming project/program files, and include files. i would be interested in others thought on this subject. Lucien T.
