Function list

Andrea Sotgiu

Hi!
I have some questions about function lists, I’ve actually tried to develop a really simple parser for configuration files of abb robots and it works quite fine for my necessities.
Now I was trying to improve a little what I did and I’m getting some difficulties…

I have to premise that I’m quite a noob in regular expression so eventually forgive the ignorance

The kind of code on which I’m working is like:

#
DEVICENET_DEVICE:

      -Name "WAGO" -VendorName "40" -ProductName "WAGO   750-306 V04.22"\
      -Label "DeviceNet Auto Configuration" -Address 11 -VendorId 40\
      -ProductCode 306 -DeviceType 12 -OutputSize 2 -InputSize 4

      -Name "B_DN_SIM" -Simulated 
#
DEVICENET_INTERNAL_DEVICE:

      -Name "DN_Internal_Device" -VendorName "ABB Robotics"\
      -ProductName "DeviceNet Internal Slave Device"

The parser I’ve used up to now was:

<parser id="SYSPAR_function" displayName="SYSPAR" commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)#(?m-s://.*?$)">
				<!-- Only match nodes with at least one attribute -->
				<function
				    mainExpr="^[A-Z_]+:"
					displayMode="$functionName">
					<functionName>
						<nameExpr expr="[A-Z0-9_]+"/>							
					</functionName>
				</function>
			</parser>

As you see is really simple but worked well for finding the main topics like “DEVICENET_DEVICE” or “DEVICENET_INTERNAL_DEVICE” in the previous code

What I was trying to do now is, instead of using directly function parser, to use a classRange parser for finding the main topics and then class parser for identifying the internal field of each topics like “-name”, “-vendor_name” and so on, so to have a function list like:

--DEVICENET_DEVICE
-------Name
-------VendorName
...
--DEVICENET_INTERNAL_DEVICENET
-------Name
-------VendorName

So, the first question is if this could be feasible, then some suggestion on how to proceed would be really appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
