eval, a mystical command, too bad it just exist in some script languages like Javascript and Perl.

Bah, this commands is'nt as mystical really, it's kinda simple function but can be kinda tricky to code. How it work Ok, this is not univerial, there may be a function named eval and does not do just this but this is the general explanation. The command execute the code putted in it's argv just as if it would have been just "normal" code placed anywhere in the file and yes even if's work, it have to be done in one line thout. :) Example: eval("print 'hejsan';"); bah, really bad one but anyway, how would I have done it in one line and to make it look simple. ;/, please put a comment with the code if you can come up with one :) Coding one If you write a function that execute the code then you can just call it again with "your" argv, just as simple as a eating turkey. :D Goodbye cheers /shab This article was originally written by shab
