. prompt for FWH

[TimStone]

Many years ago there was a program for Clipper called dClip. It provided the power of a . prompt so we could, on the fly, perform command level operations just like in dBase.

We have many implementations of file editors but sometimes it would be so much easier to be able to use that good old fashioned . prompt. Does anyone know of a code source that we could include within a dbedit program that provides the . prompt ? Maybe it is out there and I just have overlooked it in recent years.

I do not know if I understand correctly
As the old DBU?

Tim,

Both Fivedit.prg and FiveDBU.prg implement scripting using Harbour library (hbcplr.lib) built-in compiler

You can write any code and execute it on run time. If you need the .dot interface, I developed one for
FiveMac that can be used also.

The old . prompt made some tasks so simple.

. USE olddbf
. REPLACE ALL var1 WITH .t. FOR var2 = "Y" .and. var3 = "Y" .and. tDate = CTOD( "12/01/16")

That doesn't always work very well with our edit and dbu programs.

Mr.Tim,

. USE olddbf
. REPLACE ALL var1 WITH .t. FOR var2 = "Y" .and. var3 = "Y" .and. tDate = CTOD( "12/01/16")

You can try xHarbour's xPrompt. It does the same job.

Mr.Marco,

I remember that xHarbour used to provide "xPrompt.exe" along with other
binaries in xHarbour\Bin folder. Now it is not seen in Bin folder
