Exploring thirty party code with leo

[TNick]

Hello!

I'm a new user of Leo. Until I find proper ways to get informations about Leo without posting in the mail list have patience with me, please. :)

Was thinking about ways to use Leo and one of those is to make sense of the code written by others. I seem to recall reading about this topic somewhere, but can't seem to find it again. So, with the scripting capabilities in mind, I went to this quest as follows:

@language python


import fnmatch
import os

# the path to scan
rootPath = '/home/tnick/kit/ThirdyPartyCode/octave/octave-3.4.3/src'

# patterns for files to be scanned (a list, maybe? :)
pattern1 = '*.cc'
pattern2 = '*.h'


# locate the node where results shall be deposited
for p in c.all_positions():
    if (p.h == 'files'):
        break;

# todo: clean the node (how?)

# recursive search for files
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootPath):
    for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, pattern1):
        print( os.path.join(root, filename))
        child = p.insertAsLastChild()
        child.h = "@auto " + os.path.join(root, filename);
    for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, pattern2):
        print( os.path.join(root, filename))
        child = p.insertAsLastChild()
        child.h = "@auto " + os.path.join(root, filename);

# todo: nodes in p shall now be iterated and "reload-from-disk" applied to them

Is there a better way? How should I go about the todo's?
 
Thanks.

It looks like you are trying to recursively "slurp" files into @auto
nodes? I haven't used the 'projectwizard' plugin, but its docstring
describes something similar.

active_path plugin also does that sort of thing.

I use the "Recursive import script" in scripts.leo, the node::

Important-->Recursive import script

You can change the root path and the extensions of the files to be imported.

Right. Search the scripts. Search the plug-ins. Got it.

Thanks.
