Does anyone know of the existance of a PD library/set of functions for handling command-line input from a user. Functions I'm looking for would need to do things like: break up command lines into the command itself, options, modifiers and other words parse lists of numbers (including ranges) handling some editing of user input as it is typed in and any other useful functions for handling input I'd like to have a single library which can be included in any programs I write, to provide a standard command interface with standard features (such as editing the current line etc). This would be interfaced to my own programs through a set of 'standard' function calls, used whenever user input is to be handled. (It will be used under UNIX.) If anyone has such a collection of routines, I'd like to hear from them. Please mail me before sending them, so I can avoid receiving loads of duplicates. Thank you! -- sys0001@dircon.UUCP or sys0001%dircon@ukc.ac.uk
