Re: Printing Code from LPEX

I use it all the time for printing. The easy way to get to it is to hit the Esc key when you are in an editor view. Hitting Esc again returns you to the editor.

Eric mentioned using the tokenized option in the print command - I don't use that but have set the default to off - you can set lots of preferences on that line

set print.tokenized off

set print.lineNumbers off

The latter says not to print the line number you see in the editor - those are not the same as the source sequence numbers.

If I want to print a selection I've made by dragging the mouse, I can use

print block

If I want sequence numbers with that and not tokenized -

print block sequenceNumbers on tokenized off

Use "help print" in that line to get lots of the options.

Have fun!

Re: [WDSCI-L] Printing Code from LPEX

OK - help in WDSC is tough to work with sometimes. I just went to the little command line below the source view and entered "help print" and hit enter. Got me to the help for the print command. Then I saw the link to the "print.tokenized parameter". This led me to some info, including this clip -

"...the *print* command will use the current style attributes to print the current view's document text..."

So I guess tokenized means that the printing will use what is defined in Preferences->LPEX Editor->Appearance in the Styles list therein. That's what I have seen, at any rate. On a B&W printer, you get shading for the various colors you see in the editor view.

Again, that's not the same as extracting tokens from a string.

Yikes, that's a lot of work to get information!!

Vern,
Unfortunately the help text I found was very generic and only explained the basic action of having the Tokenized boxed checked/unchecked. No explanation further that I found, but then again I didn't go digging too

awful deep.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Printing Code from LPEX






No. Source code has no builtin formatting codes, although some have added the 5250 display bytes for display on the green screen.

And a "token" is not something that "...controls background and text colors...". A token, in the most primitive sense, is just a word separated by some delimiter, often a blank, sometimes a semi-colon. The C function strtok just gives you back a "token" out of a string - and uses a delimiter you specify, IIRC.

The "tokenizing" in LPEX is done by LPEX according to certain rules - sometimes found in a syntax file - TextPad has a similar concept - you put in a list of various "tokens" and how they should be displayed.

Tokenizing in LPEX is perhaps better called colorization, IMO.

For printing, that colorizing or other emphasis is done by LPEX - and you can turn it off. Turning it off gives you the plain text. Leaving it

on gives you the colorized effect.

I think there's a little confusion on the use of the word "tokenize" = probably the fault of the LPEX usage - there's probably some help text in WDSC that is worth checking on what is going on.

Does anyone understand why they named that option Tokenized? I must
really misunderstand something, but seeing that originally didn't make me
think it had to do with this issue.

Because tokenizing is the process of breaking up a line of program script into its "tokens" or component parts. It is one of the processes used by compilers and context sensitive editors - and I suppose word processors etc. too.
