running smalltalk from an external source
Specifically I need this for the block library. Is there a way to give a block a piece of smalltalk like
Code:
|t1| t1_ self readLine: '1' FromURL: 'online smalltalk code.txt'.
and then run the contents of t1 as if the code was actually in the block?
This would allow us to update this one file to automatically update the coding of this block for every single person without them having to edit their existing block in any way.

Re: running smalltalk from an external source
Yes there is. I will get the code.
Here is what I use in Claw.
runSmallt: t1
Compiler
evaluate: t1
for: self
logged: false

Re: running smalltalk from an external source
It does:
Name: run smalltalk $String$
Code:
Compiler
evaluate: t1
for: self
logged: false
Note: Using ' (quotes) does NOT work.

so the smalltalk is not allowed any quotes in it? Does that not basically rule out any block that sets variables to strings?

Re: running smalltalk from an external source
You coded the block wrong.
as I said above:
Compiler
evaluate: t1
for: self
logged: false
YOU MISSED OUT COMPILER!

oops.
Sadly this isn't going to work for the Panther download block because it contains speech marks
I don't think there is anyway around that. Ask LS97 he may know. (I believe the block is also in Bingo)

Re: running smalltalk from an external source
I gave you a code on the block library post.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
