Regexp to determine if string contains number

[jchd]

Yeah and you can debug your pattern and see it at work step by step.

jchd,

The goal is to create a tool for tracing function calls, including showing the values of variables that are passed to a function.

At this time, it is at the experimental stage. The script is about 140 lines of code at this point.

I will test the script with the cases you have found to fail. More test cases are welcome.

How StrParseDelims() and StringSplit(...,...2) differ

StringSplit('Local $var = Foo($a,25)',' $(,',2)

returns

["Local","","var","=","Foo",'"","a","25)"]

StrParseDelims('Local $var = Foo($a,25)',' $,(',$delimsVec)

returns the same thing, and also identifies the delimiters in $delimsVec:

[" ","$", " ", " ","(',"$",","]

You may be correct: it may not be possible to make my script robust enough.

An objective is to do as Function Trace now does: it inserts lines into a script to be debugged, but Function Trace only calls native functions and macros. My tool will (if I succeed!) add 2 lines ahead (or after) of a function call. If the subject script has the line $t = foo($a,$b), and at this point $a is 23 and $b 'cat':

Local ___paramsVec = [$a,$b]
___TraceCall('Foo($a,$b)',___paramsVec)

will be inserted into the subject script ahead (or after) the call to foo()

and the function ___TraceCall() will end with calling ConsoleWrite() to write Foo(23,'cat') , assuming that the values of $a and $b are 23 and 'cat' respectively.

___TraceCall() will be defined in an included .au3 file.

BTW Do you know where SciTE's code for syntax coloring is? It might give me a few clues.

I now believe that we're outpassing this thread objectives'. You should create a new one dedicated to your context.

Agreed. OK.
