Re: Printing Code from LPEX

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once agan, my shiny newness is glowing.... I've never used the command 
line in WDSC.  I am self taught on it and learn what I need as I go. 
Probably not the most effecient way, but its all I have time to do. Thanks 
for the tip.  It will come in handy in the future.  Thanks for the info as 
well.


Thanks

Re: [WDSCI-L] Printing Code from LPEX

OK - help in WDSC is tough to work with sometimes. I just went to the 
little command line below the source view and entered "help print" and 
hit enter. Got me to the help for the print command. Then I saw the link 
to the "print.tokenized parameter". This led me to some info, including 
this clip -

"...the *print* command will use the current style attributes to print 
the current view's document text..."

So I guess tokenized means that the printing will use what is defined in 
Preferences->LPEX Editor->Appearance in the Styles list therein. That's 
what I have seen, at any rate. On a B&W printer, you get shading for the 
various colors you see in the editor view.

Again, that's not the same as extracting tokens from a string.

Yikes, that's a lot of work to get information!!

HTH
