how to import turing files

[rsshelas]

ok so iam making a turing calculater all in one and i was wondering how to import a turing file so lets say if the user wants to convert binary a turing fill will open in a run menu and so on

anyone know how?

I'm not understanding the question completely.

import use is that to use variables/code inside a closed source such as class's or modules etc.

If your wanting to use code from another turing file that would be using "include".

From your question you want to change the type of calculator or the window size/etc? menues? This all can be done without either including files or importing things from code within....

Please update the question so we can assist you further thanks!

A file can only be imported if it has the file extension: .tu as opposed to .t

In the following example, I am importing a file called Procedures.tu as well as the default GUI file:

Turing:

import Procedures, GUI  %importing proceudres var g : ^Procedures new Procedures, g

The var is necessary to import the file but make sure that you do not use that var elsewhere...

In the .tu file, you would need to name the class that you are exporting (same as import name) as well as all of the procedures you wish to export:

Turing:

unit class Procedures     export LoadingBar, TitleFont, BodyFont, MainPage1, MainPage2, GrainLesson, VeggieLesson, MilkLesson, MeatLesson         , About, Quiz1, Quiz2, QuizSelection, MainPageGUI, AboutGUI, GrainGUI, VeggieGUI, MilkGUI, MeatGUI %All Procedures Go here %-------------------------- end Procedures

The program from which I gave you these examples is available here: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=23967&highlight=food+guide

code:

include "Location\\FileName.tu"

that lets you use the file and everything inside that file without having to create new useless variables to address which file it is that you want to use...

All the variables and func/proc/class/etc inside that .tu file would be used the same way as it would as if it where in the original code.

code:

import Variable,String,Procedure,etc

This is mostly used in Class's and other structures that act as such.
heres an example of it in use, (I'll do a quick example to show you how it works (its bad programming to have it setup this way tho - Just to show you import in use!))

code:

var name : string := "Turtle" %%name outside class to show you import use class Animal     import name %%IMPORTS A VARIABLE TO USE INSIDE A CLASS     export Init, Detail %%EXPORTS TO USE OUTSIDE OF A CLASS     var size : real     var color_ : string     %%name would go here to but not for example     proc Init (s_ : real, c_ : string)         size := s_         color_ := c_     end Init     proc Detail (n_ : string)         put n_, ": Size: ", size, "color: ", color_     end Detail end Animal var pet : ^Animal new Animal, pet pet -> Init (.3, "green") %%initalize the animal pet -> Detail (name)  %%remember our name turtle! Its not in the class but we USE IT in the class, via "IMPORT"
