CollectionExtensions missing in Pharo 2.0

Hello all,

I remarked that the package CollectionExtensions is missing in Pharo 2.0. We are using a useful method provided by the package on strings that provides character intervals for line numbers in a string. Here is the code from 1.4:

intervalOfLine: aLineNumber

"Answer an interval spanning between the first and the last character of the line from aLineNumber"

| lineIndex |

lineIndex := 0.

self lineIndicesDo: [ :start :endWithoutDelimiters :end |

lineIndex := lineIndex + 1.

lineIndex = aLineNumber ifTrue: [ ^ start to: end ] ].

^ 0 to: 0

Now, this method is missing in Pharo 2.0. Is there a particular reason for omitting the package? Is there a replacement for the pckage?

tx,

Usman

Hello,

CollectionExtensions is a package of Moose, it was never in Pharo.

It has not been integrated because nobody yet cared to coordinate to integrate the CollectionExtensions into collections (those parts
that are generally useful).

usman

we would love to get some of the nice collection extensions made in Moose.
Now somebody has to push it to us.
open a ticket and submit code and you will get it.

and you need to be fast, because as soon as we declare beta (next week), nothing else will be added :)
