fileIn without initializing

Hi list,

Is there a way to fileIn a .st file without having the classes to be automatically initialized?

Thanks!

Yes. You can open the subject file using file browser tool,
and instead of using 'install' or 'file in' command,
press 'changes' button and select only stuff you wanna load.

Another way is to load .st file into workspace and remove all class
initializers,
then save it and file in :)

Re: fileIn without initializing

Hi Igor and list,

Thanks, that would work if I were to do it manually, but I'd need to do that automatically for .st files provided by others, so I'm thinking of something of the sort:

Subclass PositionableStream and override fileInAnnouncing:, so that it scans for chunks that contain exactly two words the second one of which is 'initialize'.

I'm pretty positive this could work, but it sure is a terribly ugly hack... can you think of some alternative?

Thanks!

Bernat Romagosa.
