ZLOC in _clipboard

[154868]

Hi,

If you write ZLOC in a edit-window so you get a popup-list of all local variables.
How can I put this popup-list in the _clipboard ?
Any idea ?

Andreas,

One way to do that would be to modify the Intellisense code which pops up the list of locals.

To do so, first back up your FOXCODE.DBF table (to find the location, look in _FOXCODE). Then open the table, browse down to the record whose Abbrev field contains ZLOC, and edit its Data memo field.

That field will contain the code of the ZLOC function. I can't see off hand how to modify it to put the result string in the clipboard, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

.. very interesting.

but I had a misunderstanding about ZLOC.

realy I'm looking for a tool to analyse a program
code and give me back a string with all local variables in the clipboard, and so I can put it into LOCAL ....

Andreas,

No, Intellisense won't help you there. I don't know any existing tool that does what you want. Perhaps you should write one.

One problem would be that you would have no way of distinguishing local variables from other identifiers. There would be no way of knowing if it was a local, private, public or field name.

Still, might be worth persuing.
