function as parameter

[lupusbalo]

It seems that a function cannot be parameter of another function

(actually I didn't find anything about it in the help file or Forum)

Could be useful to (e.g.): browse a directory and apply a function to each file in it, or pass comparison function to a sort etc...

a sort of CallBack mecanism

something to use like:

BrowseAndApply($Dir,$BrowseSubfolderYesNo,$fileMask,$Funtion_to_apply)

As it doesn't work directly (ERROR PARSING...), I tried different things using say:

$func="somefunctionname"; also tried $somefunctionname
Func BrowseAndApply(.....$func)
......
Eval("$func(...properparameters...)") without any success.
...
EndFunc)

anybody has idea??

You can use Call.... however, you need to use global variables because Call does not take parameters....

By the way: When you use Eval on variables, you do not include the $ symbol.

THX for quick answer.

actually i'am a bit reluctant to use Global variables to do that

- it's a bit more complicated, (just need not to be too sleepy )

- I'd bad experiences with "side-effect" (we all had isn't it?? )

But if it's the only way, i'll do my best & try to manage !!!

your second point: i'am aware of that, in my post it was just "real pseudo real code" , and it was late!!
