Re: Beginners Digest, Vol 46, Issue 14

Van Upboy
Hi all,

Thanks for all your tips. Now I'm able to find classes and methods, and that really helps to understand how things work.

I'm still wondering about a simple "search and replace" though.

When I do a text search, the whole system freezes and I have to wait until it finishes searching. Why is that? I would like to go on rather than wait for the results.

I've installed the SPDF package succesfully and am building a class to print a bill for the cart. I'll look into the money object later. Creating a PDF is creating enough headaches for now, because my knowledge of smalltalk is so limited. But I'm learning it step by step.

I didn't get answers my question about squeak support for internationalization, is that because there is no built in support for that? Do the commercial smalltalk version support that aspect better?

Van.

Hi Van,

VU> I'm still wondering about a simple "search and replace" though.

seems there is none. We usually won't use that. Renaming a temporary
via search and replace is a bad idea if you have methods with the same
name as the temp.

The Refactoring Browser (and I guess OmniBrowser too) has ways to
rename a method and changing the places where it's been sent or to
rename local variables or method parameters. I guess that covers most
of your renaming needs.

Both are not present in Trunk or 3.10 and I don't know how to get them
in recent images (I use 3.8). Maybe someone else can help.

In the beginning I also used the (slow) full text search but nowadays
I get by with the other methods. You can open a second image for your
full text searches.

You ask many questions in one post so others might see a reply and
think everything is replied to. Don't use digests and one question per
post to get faster and more detailed feedback.

The simplest thing is to use String>>translated and related methods.
Squeak derived Etoys is internationalised and they use external tools.
It has been discussed at Squeak dev.


Cheers,

Herbert
