Library: omutil - miscellaneous system utilities Include: omutil.xin

Declaration

  define function UTIL_SortStreamsByKey
     modifiable stream stream-shelf

  where

stream-shelf

is an shelf of streams

Use UTIL_SortStreamsByKey to sort a shelf of streams by their keys in ascending order.

Requirements

You must include the following line at the beginning of your OmniMark program:

  include "omutil.xin"

stream-shelf must

• have a key for every item (else OmniMark Error 6052)
• not have items that are unattached, still open, or most recently attached with referents-allowed (else OmniMark Error 6059)
• not have items that were most recently attached (opened) as files or external function OMXs (else OmniMark Error 6005)

Usage Notes

You may want to write a function to build your stream shelf from your existing data.

Example

  include "omutil.xin"
  process
     local stream my-stream variable initial {"foo" with key "a",
                                              "bar" with key "c",
                                              "sna" with key "b",
                                              "try" with key ""}
     UTIL_SortStreamsByKey my-stream

     repeat over my-stream
       output "key "
          || key of my-stream
          || "; item "
          || my-stream
          || "%n"
     again
