Filing out packages

Hi,

can I fileOut a package in a way that it can be filed into, let's say, squeak?.

If you follow the exchanges with Fernando Rodriguez on "Dolphin port of
Squeak's Url classes", which deal with moving from Squeak to Dolphin, the
reverse move should be pretty similar. If you file out the Dolphin code,
transform it so that the := assignments become the Squeak left arrow, remove
the lf from every cr-lf line terminator, it should be possible to file it
into Squeak. There will be syntax differences between the dialects, which
you will have to fix. The #ifNotNil: message will not be entirely
straightforward if the code inside the block refers to the argument
variable. There is no way of doing it automatically, as far as I know.

Best wishes

Peter,

thanks, but the problem is more that I do not know how to file out a Dolphin package.

Single classes ok, but not whole packages.

You might find that the .pac file itself (the saved package) will do
what you want.  Otherwise, there are programmatic ways to file out
exactly what you want.  Take a look at Migrate>>basicFileOutMethods:on:
for a starting point.

Have a good one,

Bill,

thanks for the tip, however I *was* going to complain, that there is no such class Migrate, until I realized that I'll probably find it in one of your goodies.

I just remembered that from that the last time. ;-)

Thanks!

Günther

Actually Squeak understands := as well.

Correct.  There is a problem, but it is in taking some Squeak code (with
underscore assingment) to Dolphin.  It's a shame that they let that
shortcut get beyond the editor and into the compiler and sources :(
I've been too busy to follow it of late, but the unicode changes might
put an end to the hassles.

Have a good one,

Bill
