Hi Dan,
Spurred on by your work on this, I've updated the one in the AFL library now
too.
As far as what words are included, my intention was to have them all.
There's no way I'm aware of to snag the full list directly out of AB.
According to Tomasz, the auto-complete list that shows up in the AB editor
is built on the fly from lists in multiple places in the code, so we can't
find one comprehensive list in there and copy it. I've tried everything I
can think of, no joy.
The bad news is that I'm pretty certain I don't have everything. Even with
the new functions and constants I added from the readme files, a few more I
picked out from elsewhere, and the addition of all column vars from 0 to 29
and graph vars from 0 to 19, by my count I have 735 entries. Count
Characters (Funduc software) tells me there are 862 entries in my
auto-complete dropdown. The new _SECTION_BEGIN, _SECTION_END, etc.,
functions appear twice, and 13 functions are from the Osaka plugin, but
unless I'm missing something, there's still a bunch I don't have. Oh well,
still much better than nothing.
Re case sensitivity, I'm not sure what you're getting at. UE will
case-correct keywords if you tell it to, so that's what I do, since I'm not
usually pasting from there back into AB. I usually edit formulas in the AB
editor, and use UE for my standard <include> file, since you can't open more
than one file at once in AB itself. I also sometimes use UE on really big
files, or for find and replace. I haven't been using AB much for a bit, and
I know it's been evolving, so some of the ways I use UE might not be
necessary any more.
No strong preference for where the file(s) go; just put mine in the library
because other ones were there, and it was on the AB site so I thought it'd
be discovered easily by new folks.
