Another option for scripting: SpiderMonkey

Posted by on 05 Mar 2008 in Activity log

I've discovered that there's a connector for Delphi and Mozilla's SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, called JavaScript Bridge. This looks very promising indeed, and JavaScript as a scripting language would be more universally acceptable than Pascal nowadays. I'm still looking at examples and doing research; at the moment, the main issues are support for D2005+ (the code only goes up to D7); WideString support (I've found a cryptic compiler switch in the jsconfig.inc file that seems like it might enable it); and licensing/redistribution (the Moz components are MPL, but it also requires MSVCR70.dll).

I'll build a test app as soon as I get a chance.

Transformer is an open-source Windows application written in Delphi 2005 by Martin Holmes. Transformer loads Unicode text files and performs sequences of search-and-replace operations on them. It provides you with an interface to create and test these sequences of search-replace operations before running them in batch mode on a set of files.
