I'm looking for a good free scripting engine for Delphi. I want to add scripting to an application so that I can write small test scripts. Specifically I need:
- Pascal-like syntax
- current (I looked at RemObjects Pascal Scripting but it is "obsolete" according to a posting I saw).
I don't need full language support, just the basics. I saw this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/226135/scripting-library-for-delphi but I'm assuming things have moved on a little since then.
All I want to be able to do is add a memo component to my program, and at run-time add a fragment of source to the memo and click on a go button. I want the script to be able to access my application's variables and functions.
What's the easiest path to accomplishing this? Example program follows.
program Project31;
uses
Forms,
Unit36 in 'Unit36.pas' {Form36};
{$R *.res}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.CreateForm(TForm36, Form36);
Application.Run;
end.
.
unit Unit36;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, StdCtrls;
type
TForm36 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
Memo1: TMemo;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form36: TForm36;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure RoutineInMyApplication ;
begin
ShowMessage ('Hello from my Application') ;
end ;
procedure TForm36.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
//ExecuteScript (Memo1.Lines) ;
end ;
end.
.
object Form36: TForm36
Left = 0
Top = 0
Caption = 'Form36'
ClientHeight = 174
ClientWidth = 391
Color = clBtnFace
Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -11
Font.Name = 'Tahoma'
Font.Style = []
OldCreateOrder = False
PixelsPerInch = 96
TextHeight = 13
object Button1: TButton
Left = 300
Top = 72
Width = 75
Height = 25
Caption = 'Button1'
TabOrder = 0
OnClick = Button1Click
end
object Memo1: TMemo
Left = 8
Top = 21
Width = 241
Height = 145
Lines.Strings = (
'begin'
'ShowMessage ('#39'Hello world'#39') ;'
'CallSomehow (RoutineInMyApplication) ;'
'end.'
' ')
TabOrder = 1
end
end
