How can a fileout/filein be done using Tonel format?
In the first case as a script?
and secondly as a possible menu option for Pharo?

This is to facilitate transfer of student coding exercises for Exercism.

Could Tonel handle a full package export in one file?

Hi Ben,

I am not sure, but the purpose of Tonel is to propose a file representation of "one class=one file".

Sure thats how Tonel came about, and its how we mostly use it, but is this an inherent limitation?��

Each method is prefixed with its class, so from my 100ft viewpoint it seems feasible to transport a whole package in one Tonel file.��

Why not using Fileout st files to transfer the code?

The same question might be asked why Iceberg didn't just use a Fileout at class level.��

The Tonel��format is more readable, especially minus the scattering of exclamation marks.

I also meant to ask, what methods are used to file-in a Tonel file ?

Or more the point, what method process a string in Tonel format that has been downloaded from a website?

Actually, hunting around a bit I found....

TonelParserTest >> testMethodDefList

shows that... ((TonelParser on: tonelString readStream) perform:��#methodDefList)

returns an array of MCMethodDefinitions that respond to #load

with...

MCMethodDefinition >>��load

self actualClass

compile: source

classified: category

withStamp: timeStamp

notifying: nil

And...��

TonelParserTest >>��testTypeDef

shows that ((TonelParser on: tonelString��readStream) perform: #typeDef)

returns a��MCClassDefinition that also responds to #load

with...

MCClassDefinition >> load

self createClass

So as an experiment I deleted MCMockClassD,

then in playground evaluated...

�� tonelString := (ZnEasy get: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pharo-project/pharo/development/src/MonticelloMocks/MCMockClassD.class.st') contents.

�� parser := (TonelParser on: tonelString readStream).

�� classDef := parser perform: #typeDef.

�� methodDefs := parser perform: #methodDefList.

�� classDef load.

�� methodDefs do: [ :md | md load ].

and super cool...�� MCMockClassD>>one�� was restored.

So is that the correct way to use it?
