actually a VFP interperter written in VFP , I don't think VFP is the best language for that as well, I also don't think that large chunks of code should be determined only in run-time, but that doesn't change the question that was asked btw I believe someone already wrote such an interperter (I think I saw it in a site somewhere - I just don't remember which one (s)) Arnon >And you'll end with a VFP compiler written in VFP... :) I sincerely think >it's not the best language for this purpose... :) > >Vlad > >>you can also handle more complicated stuff but you have to write the >parser >>by yourself >>e.g. if you see a FOR do the rest of the code inside a premade for loop >>etc. >> >>Arnon >> >> >>>The main problem is that you can't compile the generated code if you're >>not >>>in the development environment. >>> >>>If you have only "one line commands" in the memo fields you can run them >>>line by line using macrosubstitution.
