[DUG] exectuteString command?

[Ross Levis]

That is because .Net and Java are basically interpreted code, compiled to machine code as it goes, like the old Basic language was originally, which is why it was so slow compared to compiled Basic.

You can't have a dynamic string of code compiled on the fly to machine code unless you have a compiler built into your application.

  .NET and Java both have it .. but for Delphi you will have to use a scripting engine for that.

  Dear all,

   

  With the recent enhancements to Delphi, has TurboPascal introduced any sort of exectuteString command as in some dialects of Basic?

   

  I.e. a string is parsed and then if the interpreted string is validly executable it is directly carried out as if it was part of the original exe.

   

  In the days when we used to have to do things like program C64 and C128s for accounts/ invoices and wages, it was a very useful facility found in SuperBase.

   

  Paul
