Stephen Giandomenico's Blog: echo

So, after sleeping on it, I finally resolved just to rewrite the darn code.

Took me the better part of a day, but here I have it, a straight-forward iterative command-line interpreter.  What it lacks in object-oriented abstraction, it makes up in simplicity: a couple hundred lines later, I was able to remove a dozen extra classes.  And it works.

Command line handling can get real nasty.  Maybe it's kinda fun at first... but jeeze, that don't last too long.

I must've spent the last hour pondering the best way to approaching it--and the hour before that trying to figure out why the guy before me tried to do it mock-recursively.  Suffice to say, it's not quite working, and nor is it too flexible.  I think I'm going to try and come at it from a different angle...

Well...

I have a blog.
