There's a few people that have learned how nice it is to use namespaces from within EUO to manage data. Unfortunately, when you try and apply that concept to something similar within OEUO, you tend to find it difficult to port such code. So I've written a group of routines that roughly mimicks the functionality of namespace operations. Here's an example:
var = TM_NS:New()
var:Switch("local","ns1")
var:Write("var1",5)
var:Write("var2",10)
var:Write("var3",20)
var:Write("vv3",30)
var:Push()
var:CopyTo("global","ns2","var") -- just copy everything starting with "var" to global:ns2
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var1"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var2"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","var3"))
print(var:ReadAbs("global","ns2","vv3"))
results in:
5
10
20
nil
These routines are very fast since they employ hash table lookup for both the namespace reference as well as the individual namespace data entries.
More to come...
