ooRexx subarrays053 (9/17/2012 10:25:11 PM) comp.lang.rexx I wanted to work with a CSV file and found the CSVStream class in the
ooRexx Rexx Extensions reference. I thought it might have methods to
read and write the whole stream as a single two-dimensional array, b... Glenn
Run an ooRexx program without a console window543 (9/13/2012 7:59:33 PM) comp.lang.rexx I'm taking a baby step into ooRexx dialogs with a trivial timer program
that uses InputBox() to display a message and ask for a time to wait
with SysSleep() before displaying it again. In addition to my inpu... Glenn
parse multiple values2239 (3/13/2012 6:27:00 PM) comp.lang.rexx Not a how-to but a why-the-heck-not? inspired by current discussion on the TSOREXX list. A time-honored way of swapping variables around is to put them into an expression for PARSE: Parse Value x y z With z... Glenn
abend in FORWARD in interactive trace246 (11/15/2011 11:42:56 PM) comp.lang.rexx In playing around with Swifty's CONSTANT class, since I was forwarding other methods to the CONSTABLE object, I tried forwarding [] and []= to it as well. I ran into an error that seemed to be intermittent, be... Glenn
guaranteed access to the Environment object?034 (3/11/2011 8:27:48 PM) comp.lang.rexx The discussion of .local got me playing with conflicts with environment symbols to find out just how dangerous I could be. Overriding class names is fun: .local~directory = .stem x = .directory~new Say ... Glenn
left() : substring() :: right() : ?939 (2/16/2011 5:22:31 PM) comp.lang.rexx What's your favorite idiom to chop a number of characters off the right-hand end of a string? Is there anything tidier than Left(string, Length(string)-n)? Certainly not Reverse(Substr(Reverse(string), n+1)).... Glenn
string functions: how to edit mutable buffers ?1538 (7/18/2012 11:28:12 PM) comp.lang.rexx
Hi there,
mutable buffers can be necessary for performance reasons:
contrary to strings they can be edited without creating a new object.
Example (use rexxtry.rex):
mb = .mutableBuffer~new('abc') -- ... Name1321(22)

Converting from Classic Rexx to ooRexx6677 (8/9/2012 7:19:46 AM) comp.lang.rexx I downloaded the install file for ooRexx. Before I launch into it, are
there any good tutorials for and of the following:

Variables names1650 (8/17/2012 6:00:07 PM) comp.lang.rexx I am working my way through my Classic Rexx execs trying to get them to
work with ooRexx. The buggest obstacle so far is the loss of "#" in
variable names. In just one exec with over 6K lines, there were over... JenMurphy1(60)
"execs" or "scripts"2670 (8/21/2012 4:31:29 PM) comp.lang.rexx I notice that most people call the Rexx routines "scripts". I come from
an old VM/CMS and MVS/TSO world where they were called "execs". I have
to admit that "scripts" kinda grates on my ears (eyes?) a bit.

FINALLY got OOREXX working under Ubuntu!!7356 (9/18/2012 11:49:24 AM) comp.lang.rexx I see the secret is the !# line indicating where the REXX interpreter
lives. Why isn't it smart enough to recognize the "/*" in the first line
like just about every other platform??
Also, I had to use Sy... Spammers2242(58)
Help with string matching algorithm280 (7/12/2012 12:48:27 PM) comp.lang.rexx I am writing a little program to improve my typing skills. Like many
