I have just started with Icon. It looks like I really need to
get "The Icon Programming Language" to get very far. What have
others done? I have found a bit of info in some of the TR
documents and I could probably read through some of the library
programs to get ideas.
I am trying to parse a file with lines of backslash delimited
fields, with no trailing delimiter:
field1\field2\field3
I thought I was on to an elegant way with the string scanning
operator:
procedure main()
while line := read() do {
line ? while write(tab(find("\\")))
do move(1)
}
end
But I cannot get the last field. Any ideas?
