[F-Script-talk] Multiple Blocks

[Jeremy S. <js...@ga...>]

I am trying to implement extensions into my app.  I am wanting to  
define blocks in one file and then run only blocks that I call.
Example:

[
	name:=[ sys log:('Jeremy').]
	description:=[ :des| sys log:('des).]
]

Now I want to just execute the "name" block.

-(id)runProcedure
{
	// will set fscript to the above example.
	NSString *fscript = [procedure objectForKey:@"procedure"];
	// Create a Block object from the string
	Block *myBlock = [fscript asBlock];
	
	// Can I do something like....
	// I know this is not a method on the Block class, but is there  
another way to get
	//subblocks from blocks?
	myBlock = [myBlock forName:@"name"];

	// Execute the block
	[myBlock value:@"name"];
	
}


Thanks,
Jeremy

Executing the big outer block will dump a definition for 'name' and
'description' in the enviroment that executes the block.  Executing
the outer block will not execute the inner blocks.  So, you could do
this:

(typed in gmail, and skipping all the error handling for conciseness.
Note that the example string above won't compile as a block.)

  FSInterpreter *interpreter = [FSInterpreter interpreter];
  System *sys = [interpreter objectForIdentifier:@"sys" found:NULL];
  Block *outerBlock = [sys blockFromString:fscript]; // block is
compiled in the environment of the interpreter
  [outerBlock value]; //.. so the 'name' identifier is bound in the interpreter
  Block *nameBlock = [interpreter objectForIdentifier:@"name" found:NULL];
  [nameBlock value];
}

It might seem a little less indirect if the file contained statements
without the big enclosing block.  Then you could use -[FSInterpreter
execute:] to execute the string, and -[FSInterpreter
objectForIdentifier:found:] to retrieve the blocks bound in the
interpreter as a result.

Thanks Ken.  Works like a charm.
