[F-Script-talk] FSInterpreterView execute

[Peter A P. <p.a...@su...>]

Hi Philippe and Co,

I'm currently integrating F-Script into my time series analysis  
software and I am wondering about how to use FSInterpreterView  
properly. What I would like to do is execute commands that I have sent  
to FSInterpreterView via the -putCommand method. Specifically, what I  
would like is a convenience method similar to the ShellView method - 
executeCurrentComand that is accessible from FSInterpreterView.

Should I go ahead and write my own convenience methods by altering  
CLIview and ShellView as necessary? Or is there just a much simpler  
way to do this that I am missing? My intention here is to go through a  
number of processing steps automatically, and let the user observe  
what is happening. I could just use the FSInterpreter directly and  
return its results, but I still need a way to get the user back to the  
command prompt (possibly by faking a RETURN keyDown event to the view).

By the way, f-script is an absolutely brilliant package - it is  
fantastic that this is available and completely open source. I have  
been using it heavily for about two weeks, and have found myself  
starting to rely on it for my Cocoa dev. I'm trying to put together an  
intuitive system for academics (mostly neuroscientists) for analyzing  
and simulating time series data, and I wanted to include a scripting  
language. The APL + Cocoa style syntax is exactly what I needed. I  
have been using the GNU scientific library for fast vector processing  
and math functions, so I'm now looking at ways of using the best  
features of both the GSL and f-script together.
