Developing a scripting language
-
Hi, As part of a broader application I need to create a scripting language. This will be used in a fairly stripped down editor. It will be used to backtest stock strategies. I don't want to "reinvent the wheel", and most of the functionality could simply be translated into, say, C++ which would surely run it fast enough for our needs. I've never tackled a project like this so any input would be greatly appreciated. Jeff

There are some quick start tutorial for this from our Java neighbors: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0424-scripting.html[^]

Like macroes? I would expect that if you implement an undo/redo scheme you could easily extend it to allow storing the steps involved to be "redone" anytime later.

Hi, Well it would probably look something like QBasic (pre VB), supporting function calls and all the basic math operations. I imagine certain pre-built chart types, and these could be invoked through the scripting language. Not sure what you mean by "undo/redo" Jeff

I got the tutorial out of a quick research into Compiler Design topics. Since I had bookmarked it, I just thought the share the same with you, in case it is of help to you too.
