I've just uploaded a new library to my website: Euphoria Serialization Library. With this library, you can serialize and deserialize sequences. Serializing is turning a sequence into bytes; deserializing is re-creating the sequence from these bytes. You can use this, if you want to write a sequence to a binary file to read it back later. You could also use it to send a sequence of data from 1 running application to another: the first application serializes a sequence of data and passes the memory address (=atom) to the second application, which deserializes the data back into a sequence. Different methods are used to store the values efficiently: Sequences with only 0 and 1 as values will be saved as bytes where each byte is 8 values. Sequences with values between 0 and 255 will be saved as bytes (1 byte per element). This will probably be used a lot, since most strings are of this type. ... -- tommy online: http://users.pandora.be/tommycarlier Euphoria Message Board: http://uboard.proboards32.com
