Re: Keeping the point in view

If the data are homogenous there is another possibility: turn on line wrapping & use the goal column. So you can easily jump on the same logical column of line. I know, it's not the answer you wanted to hear. I don't quite follow what you are saying regarding data being homogeneous... My real g...

Keeping the point in view

I've been working a lot with files having lines of around 1500 characters. These are part of a file format and cannot be modified. My problem is that I can often move along the lines with C-PgUp and c-PgDown yet the point does not follow the current chunk of buffer. Sure I can click with my mouse to...

Creating CONS cells in more primative languages.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to make a mini lisp in C++. We don't need another Lisp, I'm just trying to make something real time that can be parsed and fed back into C++ primitives at runtime. What's in a CONS cell? I mean we know there are two pointers, one to point to the next CONS or ...

List processing tool, built for work

Here is a little tool I've been hacking on for work. Get LTK and cl-ppcre via quicklisp before attempting to use. Windows requires additional setup and is kind of a pain. You can get the source from my Github repo. https://github.com/RyanBurnside/List-Monger It is mostly working... Errata: On Window...

Writing text buffer line operation defuns

Hello, My job often requires me to work with long files and I often reach for emacs to do my text editing. Many times I'd like to write functions that work on a line by line basis of a text file. What is the process to break apart a text buffer such that the lines can be stored in an elisp list work...

Re: Now you can practice LISP in BabaCAD freeware

I'm not able to try this (Linux user) but it sounds interesting. Never played with AutoLISP (too costly) much but I'd imagine being able to use Lisp in a drafting program is pretty much The Best Thing Ever. I almost went into drafting but got my degree in computer science. I still have a soft spot f...

Arranging code classes and scripts

I come from an OOP background in C++ so naturally I have some preconceptions of how code is to be organized across multiple files. How is this usually done in Lisp? Do I have each Class or struct in a single file? How many functions in a file before i need to break it in to two? Most people don't wa...
