Re: [Pyparsing] Combining strings

[<pyp...@mg...>]

Thank you very much, Paul.  I've actually got quite a few more
expansions to write so I guess you are correct that multiple passes will
probably be better.  I've also got to fit these into the correct order
with my quoting and escaping code too.

I did look at your game, and thought it was pretty neat.   However, I'm
not really concerned about the actual command execution at this point,
there's still too much parsing to do.  Also, my original implementation
used optparse to handle all the arguments to the internal commands.  It
works really well and I'm not sure if I'm ready to reinvent the wheel on
that yet.  I'm working on this a little bit at a time... let me see
where it goes.   This text and language processing stuff is new to me
but it is gradually getting clearer.

If anyone is interested in what I'm aiming for, I've uploaded my
original prototype shell here to sourceforge as well: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyshell/  I took over an abandoned 
project with the same name.

Most everything is working pretty well in the original, but I am
interested in writing a robust parser for it so it could actually be
used professionally, instead of just being a toy.

Thanks again,

-Mike
