DMDScript - DMDScript and D interaction

How many of you were/are trying to do the same that I am? That is, try 
to integrate DMDScript with D.

What I have done is modified slightly Walter's testscript so it becomes 
a sort of interactive shell (it really isn't, but it takes its input 
from console instead from a file). Anyway, I could create a DMDScript 
variable from a D one. What I did was prepend to the user input code of 
my own, just like this:

buffer = "var myValue = " ~ format(myValue) ~ ";" ~ userInput;

So the user can use "myValue", and she can even modify it. The problem 
is that past that point, I want to recover in D the value of "myValue" 
and see if it changed. Can it be done? How? (extra points if there's a 
way to notify from DMDScript to D the moment "myValue" changes ;) ).

The way to do that is create your own object (by deriving from DObject). Then, override the Put() functions to notify when a property gets a new value.

Thanks. I managed to get it working: http://dblinux.sis.epn.edu.ec/~csantand/dmdscript.html Maybe I'll upload the executables tomorrow (if someone requests them). _______________________ Carlos Santander Bernal
