Eiffel - Software

Maintainer

Greg Compestine

Description

The original motivation for this library was to implement the examples from the book » Learning Perl in Eiffel, by using Eiffel infix and prefix operators, and agents.

Features

class PERLISH - inherit from this to gain access to the Perlish operators
class HASH - a pin-headed version of Perl hashes
class PERLISH_FORMAT - a mechanism for providing formatted output
class PERLISH_SYSTEM - spawn a child process and read/write to it

Example

Here's an implemention the Unix 'cat' command that works with file redirection or an arbitrary list of file names on the command line:

class E_CAT inherit PERLISH creation make feature make is do from until #<> p = Void loop print(#$_ p + "%N"); end; end -- make end -- class E_CAT
