JSON Parser
by Andy Burnett May 4, 2012

Is there a JSON parser available for Pharo? I was slightly confused by the hits Google returned. It seems as though Stef is working on one, but that it relates to the file interchange format? All I need to do is parse some - relatively simple - JSON. Is that possible yet? Cheers Andy

Re: [Pharo-users] Is there another browser ?
by Roger Gilliar May 4, 2012

one of the loaded objects was not visible in its usual package. i then found it in _UnpackagedPackage, but the object itself was not visible in the second pane, only the methods and categories in the third and fourth pane. the second pane was completely empty. ========== That is exactly why I have observed.

by Roger Gilliar May 2, 2012

The following code is blocking the while UI until the whole file is read. Why ? Is there a better way to process large text files ? Regards Roger |stream inRec| stream := FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: '/Users/roger/Desktop/d001.txt' . [stream atEnd] whileFalse: [ inRec := stream upTo: Character cr. Transcript show: '@'. ]. stream close.

Ugh. That is weird. The classes you created with the default browser dont show up in the Nautilus Browser? I never had this issue, can you reproduce? ---------------- Not after installing Nautilus. I'll try it again with a fresh image as soon as I have some more time. Regards Roger

Menubar at the top of Pharo's main window
by Christian Caldeiro May 2, 2012

May 2, 2012

Hi, First of all, congratulations for the new 1.4 release. Iâm not new to Smalltalk but I am to Pharoâs UI. All I did until now in Pharo was using it as server (Seaside). I saw some applications done with Pharo that show a menu bar at the very top of its main window (lets say, above Pharoâs logo). Iâm wandering how to do that. All samples I saw (and correct me if Iâm wrong) first create a new window (ie a StandardWindow) and then add the menubar and menu to it. Any sample I can look at? Thanks Christian

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Spotlight like morph for pharo

Fwd :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 12:53 AM Subject: [Pharo-project] [ANN] Spotlight like morph for pharo To: Pharo Development <pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> Hi, I want to announce a little tool I made the other day (mainly because Mariano asked for it :) Do you remember algernon, that tool who was working in pharo 1.1 and is now obsolete? I used it all the time, and I always missed the ability to open browsers without having to type the class name in a workspace, or open a browser first, then look for the class. So, I created this: Gofer it squeaksource: 'Spotlight'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSpotlight'; load. ConfigurationOfSpotlight loadBleedingEdge. if you press shift+enter, you'll get a "spotlight" like morph, with a simple text input with OCompletion inside... is very simple and I think very useful. Of course it can be enhanced in a lot of ways... but let's here the community opinion first, and see if it worths to keep adding functionality.functionality. enjoy, Esteban ps: this is also an example of why I hate morphic so much (bah... current dirty implementation): I had to extend two classes just to change the editor used by a textmorph.... come on!!!!
