Simple Console Example for new users.

[Jason Monroe Martin]

I have admired the NetRexx for years. To have so few bugs in such a long
time is a great achievement.
Now that it open source, I hope that continues. You can post the example
on the website if you want. Some of us are still using old low memory
machines.



/* A sample text based program, written in NetRexx */

/* Read some data from a console because I still code text based programs.

This uses the Class Console from java.io.

Tested on linux using openjdk-6.

Note : No import statement was necessary.

Netrexx imports the following by default and more (Read docs).
netrexx.lang.
java.lang.
java.io.
java.util.
java.net.
java.awt.
java.applet.*/


con = System.console()

say 'Enter Something :'

data = con.readLine()

say 'You entered :'

say data

Hello Jason,
    thanks for your sample. :-)

Didn't even know about System.Console, but as laready stated, my actual
Java knowledge is quite small :-(

Such helpful examples like your's will improve that, of course.
Thanks again,
Thomas.

Thanks a lot Jason.

One suggestion: could you (or could I) repackage it into a zip file
with a filename like NRexx-console-snippet.zip containing the file
"console-example.nrx" ?.

It´d be great if the NetRexx project at Kenai could include a "Code
Snippets" folder where users could upload their own samples.

Like, for instance, the e-mail sample someone posted a few weeks ago
to this list.

Well, just an idea. Thanks again.

It would also be of use if it includes a "license.txt" claiming that
the included code snippet is in the public domain allowing for its
re-use.

1) con = System.console() probably returned null since it is running in a gui. No error checking coded.
2) I did everything from a term window.
3) There are some other Java Curses libraries out there on the net also.
4) Not sure when and which version of java the Class Console was added. (See your docs for your java version)

It was late and I was tired. I will clean it up (add error checking) and add a license when I get time.

Can I ask why you are doing this? It does not seem like the NetRexx way of doing things. Unless I am missing something, would it not be the same thing as this?:

say 'Enter Something :'



data=ask

say data

The System.console approach does not work in some environments like jEdit.

I think it should be discussed elsewhere because it is a plugin for Jedit that happens to be written in NetRexx.

 

There’s plenty of spam generated by this list already.  I don’t think it’s too much to ask for you and Bob to take it offline.

I guess we are going to disagree then. In spite of what you think it is, NetRexxDE is a utility that makes compiling and testing simple NetRexx programs much easier than using the command line. I use it all of the time. It also just happens to be a plugin that runs under jEdit. It could be made into a standalone NetRexx IDE, but that would be a pointless loss of functionality.

Subjects related to NetRexx programming are NOT spam.

I agree with Kermit. Issues with NetRexxDE are user issues with one
possible, entry user frontend. And I strongly hope for more of these for
NetBeans, Eclipse, Idea and others. The more the better.
I don't use any of these, but I know that most developers *love* them.
Especially the younger ones, as they got used to them right from the start.
We should be thankful there's at least one graphical 'IDE' (if you call
jEdit as one) plugin for NetRexx. So let's treat it with respect and the
problems of noobs with patience.

There might be spam on this list, but it's probably not coming from
NetRexxDE and the noobs. No pun intended. Not.

You're are right but I started out playing with curses based libraries. Much simpler but I was looking for ways to create text based menus and widgets like CHARVA at http://www.pitman.co.za/projects/charva/index.html and java curses http://sourceforge.net/projects/javacurses/ when I stumbled onto the console class added to Java in 1.6

LOL.  That's hilarious.  "Let's you and him fight!" As we used to say in Texas.  I don't care one whit one way or the other.  This is an unmoderated list and you gets what you pays for.

And now who's burning bandwidth?  Why, ME!  Good GAWD.  I'm usually the last one to feed a troll, but, "Here, have a cookie.  They're good for you."

Yust to add my 2 cents:

RexxMsg, part of org.netrexxruntime.compatibility to be delivered with vs. 3.01, has, by design, a static method (function) called askfor.

therefore, you could code:

import org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility.

class my class USES RexxMsg

data=askfor('Enter something:')
   - or - , even more convenient
 
answer=askfor('Would you like to continue','Yes/No')

Please note, that the latter case also allows abbreviated input ('Y' for 'Yes', and 'N' for 'No').

One of the advantages using this function is that all questions (and answers)
are also recorded in the (optional) LOG-File supported by RexxMsg.

The current documentation is in www.thsitc.com/Rexx2Nrx, section run-time.

I'm currently deploying all those run-time classes, which also do implement
things like linein, lineout, date, time, etc (in the classic Rexx sense)
to org.netrexx (including the sources, written in NetRexx, of course, for free :-)) for possible inclusion in further NetRexx distributions.

Kind regards from sunny Vienna, Austria,

Thomas.

Can I ask why you are doing this? It does not seem like the NetRexx way of doing things. Unless I am missing something, would it not be the same thing as this?:

say 'Enter Something :'



data=ask

say 'You entered :'

say data

The System.console approach does not work in some environments like jEdit.

Now that it open source, I hope that continues. You can post the example on the website if you want. Some of us are still using old low memory machines.

This uses the Class Console from java.io.

Tested on linux using openjdk-6.

Note : No import statement was necessary.

Netrexx imports the following by default and more (Read docs).
netrexx.lang.
java.lang.
java.io.
java.util.
java.net.
java.awt.
java.applet.*/


con = System.console()

say 'Enter Something :'

Mike,

I might be seen as an interested party in this discussion so probably I won't be replying on-list to any reactions to this email. I might off list or o the advocacy list.

Just want to point out the fact that this list actually went with virtually no traffic for years. At some point someone asked for an updated NetRexxJe that worked with the, at the time, current jEdit version. I released what I had at the moment and there was a furry of related list traffic which somewhat seemed so set the ball rolling again (if only to start bickering big blue for not delivering on nits promises...)

Note that these're not my views; the archives are at Nabble, go check them.

Now I wonder... where was King Measel the First at the time with his non-spam emails and his rulings about what goes in the list and what not?

C'mon, this has always been an open list. We've endured relentless advertising with admirable patience. We're still here after the many years of neglection and uncertainty. Are we really going to start the pettiness competition now? I for one will keep trying to help any fellow NetRexxer on any platform and or environment.

I agree with Kermit. Issues with NetRexxDE are user issues with one
possible, entry user frontend. And I strongly hope for more of these for
NetBeans, Eclipse, Idea and others. The more the better.
I don't use any of these, but I know that most developers *love* them.
Especially the younger ones, as they got used to them right from the start.
We should be thankful there's at least one graphical 'IDE' (if you call
jEdit as one) plugin for NetRexx. So let's treat it with respect and the
problems of noobs with patience.

There might be spam on this list, but it's probably not coming from
NetRexxDE and the noobs. No pun intended. Not.
