Last change at 26. of May, 2001 This is a preprocessor that is written in perl and also uses perl for its commands. It roughly works like this: read a file completely into memory. scan it for preprocessor commands (everything between @@ and the end of the line it appeared in and everything between /@ and @/). extract that command and execute it, remember the return string. replace the original sequence with the return string. The preprocessor has only one command built-in, that is "include", which works like this: take its argument (the file name) and "require" it. That's all. This way you can define your own functions in a separate file and just add them whenever you need to. Here's the source with an example: parser.tbz2 (1700 Bytes).
