Short: FASTEST FGets() replacement, quick sort, hex view, ansi2text, SetFunction() modules Author: fredinou@bigfoot.com (FR) Type: dev/e Requires: kickstart 2.0+ Here are some modules I made 2 years ago for my own programs. summary ~~~~~~~ FGets() AmigaDOS replacement (about 5 times faster) Quick sort (for sorting arrays and make fast sort programs) Hex view (to view better binary files) Ansi to text (removes escape sequences) SetFunction() AmigaDOS replacement (SetFunction object) CON window size (How many lines of text it may contain) strtok() equivalent (like the C function) Me It's freeware Quit ============================================================================ readline() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: Replaces the AmigaDOS FGets() function. About 5 times faster. About 30 times faster than the ReadStr E function. readline(object) readlinefrom(filehandle) endrealine(object) You don't need to know what object is. It's a pointer to something and is just used for the endreadline() function. You get the line read with ^o. Example : DEF fh,o,buf[256]:STRING,i IF fh:=Open('xpke.e',OLDFILE) o:=readlinefrom(fh) WHILE readline(o) printF("\s\n", ^o) ENDWHILE endreadline(o) Close(fh) ENDIF ============================================================================ insertinorder() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: Insert an element in a sorted array using quick sort algorithm. insertinorder(arrayptr,len,element,comparisonfunction,userdata) arrayptr : pointer to an array the array may be empty but allocated. len : length of the array element : pointer to the element to insert in the array comparisonfunction : pointer to your function of comparison userdata : parameters of the comparison function comparison function : cmpfunction(element, newelement, userdata : PTR TO LONG) return TRUE if element and newelement are comparable. newelement is the element to insert which you compare with an ordinary element of your array. ============================================================================ hex() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: Display a binary string in hex view form. hex(estring,binstring,len) estring : returned hex view string binstring : binary data in memory len : length of binary data Example of view: 464F524D 00000046 50524546 50524844 FORM...FPREFPRHD 00000006 00000000 0000494E 50540000 ..........INPT.. 002C6600 61310000 00000000 00000000 .,f.a1.......... 00000001 00000001 0007A120 00000000 ..........¡ .... ============================================================================ noansi() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: Removes the escape sequences from string. noansi(string) Example: Strcopy(str, "\e[33mtext\e[31m") noansi(str) PrintF(str) Output: text ============================================================================ nblineswin() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: Returns the number of lines of text displayable on the window. nblineswin(PTR TO window) ============================================================================ setf() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: SetFunction() object in E. setf(libbase,offset,newfunc) Constructor. libbase : pointer to library offset : offset of the function to patch (See asm includes). newfunc : pointer to the new function for replacement. enabled() Returns TRUE is patch is enabled. disable() Disables the patch. enable() Reenables the patch. patched() Returns TRUE is the function has been patched by another process. end() Destructor. oldfunc() Returns the pointer to the old function. Example: #define OFFSET -30 (Open) #define BASE dosbase MODULE 'tools/geta4' PROC main() NEW setf.setf(BASE,OFFSET,{new}) storea4() WHILE CtrlC()<>TRUE DO Delay(10) IF setf.attemptend()=FALSE THEN WriteF('Someone patched your function\n') WHILE setf.attemptend()=FALSE DO Delay(10) END setf ENDPROC PROC new() DEF name,mode,fh MOVE.L D1,name MOVE.L D2,mode geta4() WriteF('\s opened with mode \s\n',name,IF mode=NEWFILE THEN 'NEWFILE' ELSE 'OLDFILE') MOVE.L name,D1 MOVE.L mode,D2 fh:=setf.oldfunc() WriteF('fh: \d\n',fh) ENDPROC fh ============================================================================ readtoken() ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synopsis: strtok() equivalent. readtokenfrom(string,separators=NIL,oneonly=FALSE) constructor string : a string separators : a string of separators oneonly : treat subsequent separators as one separator readtoken(o) return the next token endreadtoken(o) destructor nbtoken(o) returns the number of tokens in the string Example: DEF o o := readtokenfrom("token1;token2;token3.token4", ".;") WHILE readtoken(o) PrintF("%s\n", ^o) ENDWHILE endreadtoken(o) ============================================================================ Talking about me ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was 2 years I made these proggies and never take the time to spread it. So here it is for your convenience. Hope you will use it.
