Expr.pos.file - Retrieve macro file string

[AlienCoder]

Hello Community,

what am I doing wrong?

I try to retrieve the position of an expression. At this moment I use a regEx ( EReg ) to filter out the interesting parts of the String expr.pos

var pos = expr.pos;
trace( "Pos: " + pos.file );

But I think, it could be an increasing of performance just to take position file string that is already stored (expr.pos.file).

The compiler denies any cooperation with me (probably my fault).

It tells:

haxe.macro.Position has no field file

... although the API tells something else.

I also have surrounded the requesting method with              #if macro            #end

I feel like a total newby and want to excuse myself, to bother you with such a seemingly banal question.

I have made great experiences with this community. So I want to say thank you for being so supportive and respectful (which is not so certain for an expert community).

Kind regards
Michael

You should be able to use Context.getPosInfos(expr.pos) to get the info.

Hello Ben,

thanks for your reply. I even tried that before, but probably something else was wrong, then.

Kind regards
Michael
