I have a parser for syntax that uses python to test each command
github.
It works very well for what i need, but it is not capable of running python code 'begin program. ;print...' because the parser isn't set up to handle the lack of command terminator or the importance of spaces.
The code below is an excerpt of working code found
https://github.com/chetstar/Python-SPSS/blob/master/SyntaxErrorTest.pyJon reccomended:
"""use readlines and for each command just submit the lines that define the command but collect the lines in one of these special blocks until you find the block end and Submit as a batch. """
#Files=['k:\meinzer/Production\dashboarddatasets/clinfo.sps','k:\meinzer/Production\dashboarddatasets/clinfo.sps']
def main(Files):
"""The parser and processor for Syntax Error Reporting """
try:
for FilePath in Files:
Start = datetime.now().replace( microsecond=0)
DBname, init_Syntax = init_Vars(FilePath)
cmds = init_cmds(init_Syntax)
try:
# cmd, cmd2, cmd3=run_cmds(cmds)
cmd2=''
cmd3=''
for cmd in cmds:
cmd=cmd.replace('\r\n','\n ')
cmd=cmd.replace('\t',' ')
print cmd
spss.Submit(cmd)
cmd3=cmd2
cmd2=cmd
def init_cmds(init_Syntax):
"""initalize the syntax by removing BOMUTF8, seperating on os.linesep """
with open(init_Syntax,'rb') as f:
BOM_UTF8 = "\xef\xbb\xbf"
code = f.read().lstrip(BOM_UTF8)
cmds = re.split("(?<=\\.)%s[\t]*" % os.linesep, code, flags=re.M)
cmds = [cmd.lstrip() for cmd in cmds if not cmd.startswith("*")]
return cmds
