Hi all,

I played around with the default base object for non-objects.
But i am unable to find a way to access the default base object for objects.
Something like...

obj := []
obj.base.doSomething := Func("ObjDoSomething")

ObjDoSomething(obj)
{
  ;...
}

x := []
x.doSomething()

Is there a way to make this work?
Thanks in advance!

When a non-object value is used with object syntax, the default base object is invoked. This can be used for debugging or to globally define object-like behaviour for strings, numbers and/or variables. The default base may be accessed by using .base with any non-object value; for instance, "".base. Although the default base cannot be set as in "".base := Object(), the default base may itself have a base as in "".base.base := Object().

One of the things i most hated about objects was their lack of granularity. If you just wanted a banana you got the banana all right, but you also got the gorilla holding it, and the entire jungle the gorilla was in.

Thanks

I allready read this sentence, but doesn't this meant to be for non-objects?
Sorry if i understand something wrong, but i want to access the base for objects like for non-objects.

How do i get the banana now (with, or without gorilla and jungle)?

There isn't one. You need to create it first.

obj.base := {}

Although the default base cannot be set as in "".base := Object()

Not relevant.

I thought there may be a way to add methods to objects that are created with [], {}, Object() or Array(), without had to define something for each instance.

Anyway, thanks to all for the fast support.

I have just posted a workaround in the Tutorials section.

[Bentschi]

I thought i will get an error if i try to create a function named "Object" or "Array", therefore i did not even tried it.
But it works impeccable.
Thanks for it.

[Bentschi]

The example works great, but sorry that i disturb again.
Maybe it's a stupid question...

Classes seems to be the main-thing of the object-syntax in ahk, or possibly have the same significance like base-objects.
Is it possible to inject methods to classes, with no need to extend from another class or define it in every class?

I thought it would be easier to put methods that i need really often in a main-class.
If this will not work, it's ok too (i can also extend my classes from one).

[Lexikos]

No, each class should explicitly extend your base class.

[Bentschi]

ok, i thought so.
Thanks anyway

If someone is interested in what i was making out of this...
Here is the link to the german forum <!-- m -->http://de.autohotkey...pic.php?t=10295<!-- m -->

In the documentation (Dokumentation) is at the end a test-code you can try to understand it.

Vor Non-Objects there is a "binary-mode" which you can enter using the alloc-method and leave with the free-Method.
If you are in binary-mode, you can use the variable like the file-object.
For write-Operations, the size of the buffer will automaticly increase, if there is less than required allocated.

RegEx does not have the same syntax as in AHK "options)searchstring".
The RegEx in this Library looks like "/searchstring/options", because this way you can use Strings too for searching.
For Example:

str := "This is a test!"
strA := str.replace("/test/i", "lie")
strB := str.replace("test", "lie")

Would both do exactly the same.
