Short: 1.0; ARexx host which expands words = saves typing Author: Peter Liljenberg, c96petli@und.ida.liu.se Uploader: Peter Liljenberg, c96petli@und.ida.liu.se Type: text/misc RExpand 1.0 Some text editors (e.g. GoldEd and ProgED) can expand words, i.e. look up a word in a list and replace it with one or more words. RExpand gives this power to editors which haven't this feature. RExpand is an ARexx host which will expand words. So if your text editor have an ARexx interface, it can communicate with RExpand via an Arexx script. Not only text editors can use RExpand, any program with an ARexx port can use it. So you can use RExpand with a data base program to simplify input of data, or you could let it enter complex formulas in a spreadsheat with just a few keypresses. Even word processors like FinalWriter or WordWorth 5 can use RExpand! Features: - A requester can be opened if there is several possible matches, to let the user choose the correct replacement string. The requester can be opened on any public screen. - ARexx scripts are included for the editors PolyEd, Annotate, Edt, BlacksEditor, TKEd and SkoEd. - Small! Uses only 30 kb of memory when running. - Several shell utilites are included. - Replacement strings can be written to a file. - Data files can be located anywhere, and can be added and removed with an ARexx command. - Data files for the Amiga includes are supplied, with ARexx macros for generating these files as well. - Data files can be edited with an ordinary text editor; no need for a preferences program. - If there is more than one match, all found replacement strings can be returned in a stem variable. - Replacement strings can contain escaped characters for newlines, tabs or any other special character. - Source code is included, with public domain status. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 564 235 58.3% 30-Aug-96 19:25:50 RExpand.info 564 235 58.3% 30-Aug-96 19:25:54 +Data.info 144 116 19.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:54 +.data 11931 4554 61.8% 30-Aug-96 19:26:26 +A.data 4087 1714 58.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:28 +B.data 12378 4741 61.6% 30-Aug-96 19:26:30 +C.data 12160 4465 63.2% 30-Aug-96 19:26:32 +D.data 6035 2220 63.2% 30-Aug-96 19:26:46 +E.data 5790 2211 61.8% 30-Aug-96 19:26:32 +F.data 6482 2559 60.5% 30-Aug-96 19:26:34 +G.data 2109 894 57.6% 30-Aug-96 19:26:34 +H.data 11072 4085 63.1% 30-Aug-96 19:26:36 +I.data 750 267 64.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:56 +J.data 752 335 55.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:54 +K.data 4490 1792 60.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:38 +L.data 4227 1697 59.8% 30-Aug-96 19:26:50 +M.data 3839 1767 53.9% 30-Aug-96 19:26:38 +N.data 3584 1526 57.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:48 +O.data 8839 3596 59.3% 30-Aug-96 19:26:44 +P.data 139 96 30.9% 30-Aug-96 19:26:50 +Q.data 6785 2665 60.7% 30-Aug-96 19:26:40 +R.data 11339 4510 60.2% 30-Aug-96 19:26:42 +S.data 8277 3463 58.1% 30-Aug-96 19:26:42 +T.data 770 402 47.7% 30-Aug-96 19:26:48 +U.data 3899 1192 69.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:50 +V.data 2934 1234 57.9% 30-Aug-96 19:26:44 +W.data 875 393 55.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:52 +X.data 52 52 0.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:56 +Y.data 32 32 0.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:52 +Z.data 564 235 58.3% 30-Aug-96 19:25:52 +Editors.info 413 271 34.3% 30-Aug-96 19:26:58 +Expand.rexx 309 214 30.7% 30-Aug-96 19:27:02 +Expand.bed 274 192 29.9% 30-Aug-96 19:27:00 +Expand.edt 1340 535 60.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:58 +Expand.ped 391 260 33.5% 30-Aug-96 19:26:58 +Expand.rexx 1818 760 58.1% 30-Aug-96 19:27:00 +Expand.tked 80 77 3.7% 30-Aug-96 19:26:08 +findrexx 4607 1482 67.8% 30-Aug-96 19:26:06 +Install_RExpand 1296 666 48.6% 30-Aug-96 19:26:06 +Install_RExpand.info 17704 9988 43.5% 30-Aug-96 19:26:00 +RExpand 1011 506 49.9% 30-Aug-96 19:26:08 +RExpand.guide.info 1217 286 76.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:02 +RExpand.info 564 235 58.3% 30-Aug-96 19:25:52 +Source.info 2866 1154 59.7% 30-Aug-96 19:26:16 +defs.h 359 217 39.5% 30-Aug-96 19:26:26 +DMakeFile 7354 2650 63.9% 30-Aug-96 19:26:18 +main.c 7729 2776 64.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:26 +req.c 10395 3502 66.3% 30-Aug-96 19:26:22 +rexx.c 564 235 58.3% 30-Aug-96 19:25:54 +Utils.info 1035 351 66.0% 30-Aug-96 19:26:10 +Expand 3361 1161 65.4% 30-Aug-96 19:26:10 +Includes2DataFile 2614 934 64.2% 30-Aug-96 19:26:12 +Proto2DataFile 229 163 28.8% 30-Aug-96 19:26:14 +QuitRExpand 349 239 31.5% 30-Aug-96 19:26:10 +Rexx_Expand.rexx 28935 11016 61.9% 30-Aug-96 19:56:26 +RExpand.guide -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 232277 93153 59.8% 31-Aug-96 01:26:12 55 files
