TSE: Language: Computer: Perl

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

FYI

How to compile Perl programs from within TSE?

1. -Always create a backup (e.g. copy) of the file compile.dat in your TSE main directory

2. Information about Perl

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl

3. To learn Perl

    see https://YouTube.com

4. To install Perl (on Microsoft Windows)

ChatGPT: "How to install Strawberry Perl on Microsoft Windows?"

To install Strawberry Perl on Microsoft Windows, you can follow these steps:

Download the latest version of Strawberry Perl for Windows from the official website (https://strawberryperl.com/).

Run the downloaded executable file to begin the installation process.

Follow the prompts to choose the destination folder and any additional options you want to include in the installation.

Once the installation is complete, you can open the command prompt and type "perl -v" to confirm that Perl has been installed and to see the version number.

You can also add the path of the Perl installation to your system's PATH environment variable, so you can run Perl from any location on your system.

Note: If you are installing Strawberry Perl on a Windows operating system older than Windows 7, it's recommended to use the 32-bit version.

5. Create a .bat file COMPERL.BAT (e.g. save it in your TSE path and adapt the path to the conditions on your system)

@REM version 1.0.0.0.1

@REM [kn, ri, sa, 28-01-2023 19:35:15]

g:\language\computer\perl\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe %3 >%6 2>&1

@ECHO.

g:\language\computer\perl\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe %3

@ECHO.

@PAUSE

6. Add these TSE compiler options (e.g. run my chanblab.s and merge (or add it manually))

Extension=.py

Description=Perl: Knud

Command=COMPERL.BAT &name& &ext& &fn& &drive& &path& &output&

Output=Don't Clear Screen or Prompt After Shell

 -Error=^.*Error: .+$\c

  Error: Options=x

  Error: Extra line (default empty line)=

 -FileName=File "{.+}",

  FileName: Options=xb

  FileName: Tag=1

 -Line=line {.+}

  Line: Options=xb

  Line: Tag=1

 -Column=^[ \t]*\c\^

  Column: Options=xb

  Column: Tag=-2

 -Message=^.*Error: {.#}

  Message: Options=xb

  Message: Tag=0

User Macro=

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. For Perl syntax highlight:

    -Use the default perl.syn

    -Computer: Editor: Text: TSE: Syntax: Highlight: Language: Computer: Perl: File: Source: perl.txt

     http://goo.gl/39tkS

8. Create a file helloworld.py (case insensitive) in TSE and compile it from TSE (e.g. <CTRL><F9>)

print "Hello world";

9. That will show

Hello world

10. Tested successfully in

    Microsoft Windows Professional 10

    TSE version 4.42

Knud,

I am not sure why you would go to all this trouble. Why not just use the
included 'pl2bat.bat' converter included with every Windows version of
Perl I have come across since the late 1990's (not sure about Cygwin,
never used it).

Alternatively, if you use JPSofts Take Command shell (or possibly
others), just add a 'shebang' line (!# perl -w) at the start of the
script and give the script a '.cmd' extension.

What applied here is a general method to compile (almost) (every) computer language from inside TSE in the same way (e.g. always pressing only <CTRL F9>, always getting the command line compile errors back in TSE, always seeing also the output on the command line screen (of cmd.exe, tcc.exe, ...) and all this automatically). Is that possible? The answer is yes and that is what is conveyed.

That should thus in general be contrary to applying ad hoc methods to compile specific programming languages, e.g. outside of TSE.

For example I think that the only programming language where this principle is applied to the fullest and where it also works at this moment is for e.g. TSE SAL .s programs itself.

For example this simplest TSE SAL .s program:

PROC Main()

 1/0

END

Note: There is clearly a deliberately introduced error by me in this program, that is '1/0'.

Now when you compile thus using <CTRL F9> you see that the screen is split automatically in 2 parts, that is showing the program itself in the top and also showing the error(s) in the other split screen, where you can switch in between if you want.

Note: Actually the command line screen which runs sc32.exe to compile is HIDDEN, so you do NOT see that (that is the running of 'sc32.exe' behind the screens)

Note: But it is possible to see the compiling of sc32.exe with it (error) output also via choosing another setting in the compiler menu.

You see thus that the TSE compile error is: 'Error 2333 (2,2) syntax error.

(and  when clicking on that error it will jump automatically to that line and or column number in your source code program)

Now are you also seeing that with your Perl compile implementation when compiling a Perl program???

I guess not...

But this is what I now see in TSE using the below parameters and <CTRL F9> to compile a Perl program.

(and that is seen similarly seen for every programming language thus).

You see thus that the Perl error is 

'Illegal division by zero at f:\BBC\TAAL\helloworld.pl line 3'

(and  when clicking on that error it will jump automatically to that line and or column number in your source code program)

Similar for Java after pressing <CTRL F9> inside of TSE:

You see thus in TSE that the Java error is, which will when clicking on it jumpt to that line and or column number in your source code program)

'Helloworld.java:7: error: class, interface or enum expected'

(and  when clicking on that error it will jump automatically to that line and or column number in your source code program)

Similar for C++:

You see thus 2 errors in the C++ program shown inside in TSE:

'Error E2190 f:\bbc\taal\helloworld.cpp 6: Unexpected )'

'Error E2040 f:\bbc\taal\helloworld.cpp 8: Declaration terminated incorrectly'.

(and  when clicking on that error(s) it will jump automatically to that line and or column number in your source code program)

I hope you get the point now.

1. Altogether is that TSE native program 'compile.s' (located in the TSE 'mac' subdirectory) thus a very smart TSE program,

   written by a genius and a very smart person.

2. See read also the corresponding TSE compile.hlp text here:

Knud,

Rather than posting 270+ languages, why not just create a project manager in SAL that lets us add any type of file, edit them, compile them.

In that way you incorporate all 270+ languages, but without the 270+ posts.

Call it TSE Project Manager.  Let it have an area for files, an area for editing, ability to zoom full editor window size, an area showing compile errors, the ability to have something like a MAK file for building whole apps and not just compiling files.

Just a thought.

> Call it TSE Project Manager.  Let it have an area for files, an area for editing, ability to zoom full editor window size, an area showing compile errors, the ability to have something like a MAK file for building whole apps and not just compiling files.

a. Most of those proposed elements already exist.

b. All one would have to do in the simplest case is maybe putting those macro in a separate Menu() or List()

E.g.

===

1. > Let it have an area for files

One can use the native TSE macro 'where.s' for that to search and filter on file extension (e.g. .cpp, .java, ...).

One can use the PotPourri makro to navigate only e.g. .cpp files.

Or use my navigate only files which fullfile your given search string (e.g. in the ring only navigating through all filenames containing the word '.conf', '.log', '.cpp', '.h', ...)

===

2. >  an area for editing

That is exactly what the native TSE macro 'compile.s' is doing, that  is it splits the screen automatically in 2 horizontal subscreens, one for the editing of the source code and one for showing and going to the error messages.

===

3. > ability to zoom full editor window size

My recommendation is to use AquaSnap 

https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap

for those windows actions (e.g. full size window, 1/2 size, 1/4 size, left, right, bottom, top, ...)

That is just a fantastic program and a dream to work with.

Otherwise I use already for years Carlo Hogeveen's automatically maximize and back to original size TSE window program every day,

e.g. to show too small menus on my full screen instead with automatic shrinking of the menu font size if necessary.

===

4.  > an area showing compile errors,

If you use thus e.g. my proposed settings for compile.s (see my email 'TSE: Language: Computer: C++)  

you will get your error area thus out of the box in TSE. 

That split and show error window functionality has thus already existed in TSE for about 40 years (since 1985++),

it is thus only not been that much exposed fully.

5. > something like a MAK file for building whole apps and not just compiling files.

These are similar to your load your .cpp file, then TSE menu 'macro' > 'compile menu' > 'List' > then press <ALT E> options:

Extension=.cpp

Description=C++: Knud

Command=COMCPP.BAT &name& &ext& &fn& &output&

Output=Don't Clear Screen or Prompt After Shell

 -Error=^{{Warning}|{Error}|{Fatal} {W|E|F}[0-9]* #{.*} {[0-9]#}: {.@}}$\c

  Error: Options=i

  Error: Extra line (default empty line)=

 -FileName=

  FileName: Options=

  FileName: Tag=6

 -Line=

  Line: Options=

  Line: Tag=7

 -Column=

  Column: Options=

  Column: Tag=

 -Message=

  Message: Options=

  Message: Tag=1

User Macro=

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That would one thus implement out of the box by adding something like this as a new compile option 

Description: C++: MakeFile

...

Command=MYMAKEFILE.BAT &name& &ext& &fn& &output&

...

and there you go with an initial project manager.

Note: Of course I have already implemented very similar here on my system. 

I have a separated troubleshooting menus with lots of those actions present with 1 key press

to do those actions, which I used very frequently every day.
