Topic: Lisp loader?

[hudster]

Does anyone know of an auto lisp loader?

I'm looking for something I can add lisps to, but give them a description, which also would allow me to categorise them and would work inside autocad.

Something so I don't have scroll through loads of lisps looking for the one I want but can't remember what it's called.

Cheers for any help.

That sounds like a candidate for a csv file, or similar ..

Full_command_Name, alias_shortcut, load_path, catagory, description_string
.. etc adinfinitum ...

[Kerry]

couple of hints ..

LispLoaderDataBase.csv

Code: [Select]

command,alias,category,loadpath,description
c:test,c:ttt,fun,c:/lisp/,Test routine to prove the theory.
c:routine2,c:r2,fun,c:/lisp/,Test 2  routine to prove the theory.
c:routine3,c:r3,fun,c:/lisp/,Test 3 routine to prove the theory.
Some code

Code: [Select]

(SETQ filequalifiedname (FINDFILE "LispLoaderDataBase.csv")
      listofsublists    (CDR (MAPCAR
                               '(LAMBDA (textrow) (kdub:strparse textrow ","))
                               (kdub:textfile-to-list filequalifiedname)
                             )
                        )
      command_list      (MAPCAR '(LAMBDA (sublist) (CAR sublist)) listofsublists)
)
The result

listofsublists

(("c:test" "c:ttt"
           "fun"
           "c:/lisp/"
           "Test routine to prove the theory."
 )
  ("c:routine2" "c:r2"
                "fun"
                "c:/lisp/"
                "Test 2  routine to prove the theory."
  )
  ("c:routine3" "c:r3"
                "fun"
                "c:/lisp/"
                "Test 3 routine to prove the theory."
  )
)


command_list

("c:test" "c:routine2" "c:routine3")

Just need a dialog, and some car , cudda and nth code

Is this what you are looking for? This is how I load lisp from a dialog box which displays a discription?
Reads a text file with command name and discription.

yeah that would do it.

I was looking for something with tabs though, which I could configure into different areas.

One list box opening up different files to read?
