Generic File Name Operations
GetGenericFileName: PROC [opRope, fileName, wDir, defaultExt: Rope.ROPE, illegalExts: LIST OF Rope.ROPE, router: MsgRouter, emergency: BOOLFALSE] RETURNS [fullName: Rope.ROPENIL, success: BOOLTRUE, versionSpecified: BOOLFALSE];
Given fileName (provided by a user perhaps) and a working directory, expands the filename in that directory, adding the default extension if none was provided. It reports any problems onto the feedback stream unless emergency = TRUE. If there are any problems, success is set to FALSE and a complaint on behalf of the opRope is posted. Otherwise, the resulting full path name is returned.
FNameToGName: PROC [name: Rope.ROPE] RETURNS [Rope.ROPE];
Takes a local name like "[]<>Users>Bier.pa>Gargoyle>Foo" into a global name like "[QueenFish]<Cedar>Users>Bier.pa>Gargoyle>Foo".
FilenameMinusExtension: PROC [wholeName: Rope.ROPE] RETURNS [firstPart: Rope.ROPE];
Convenience File Name Operations for Gargoyle Use
GetInterpressFileName: PROC [opRope, ipName: Rope.ROPE, currentWDir: Rope.ROPE, router: MsgRouter] RETURNS [fullName: Rope.ROPENIL, success: BOOLTRUE];
[fullName, success, ----] ← GetGenericFileName[opRope, ipName, currentWDir, "IP", LIST["gargoyle", "script", "mesa", "tioga"], feedback];
GetGargoyleFileName: PROC [opRope, ggName: Rope.ROPE, currentWDir: Rope.ROPE, router: MsgRouter, emergency: BOOLFALSE] RETURNS [fullName: Rope.ROPENIL, success: BOOLTRUE, versionSpecified: BOOLFALSE];
[fullName, success, versionSpecified] ← GetGenericFileName[opRope, ggName, currentWDir, "gargoyle", LIST["IP", "interpress", "script", "mesa", "tioga"], feedback, emergency];
GetScriptFileName: PROC [opRope, scriptName: Rope.ROPE, currentWDir: Rope.ROPE, router: MsgRouter] RETURNS [fullName: Rope.ROPENIL, success: BOOLTRUE];
[fullName, success, ----] ← GetGenericFileName[opRope, scriptName, currentWDir, "script", LIST["gargoyle", "IP", "interpress", "mesa", "tioga"], feedback];
Generic File Opening Operations
OpenInterpressOrComplain: PROC [opRope: Rope.ROPE, router: MsgRouter, fullName: Rope.ROPE] RETURNS [ipMaster: Interpress.Master, success: BOOL];
END.
