This release introduces a number of new builtins, fixes some regression bugs and supercharges the select optional builtin (which I plan to include into the core builtins for non-Windows users in the next release).
Features:
alter now supports --sum where structures are merged and numeric values are added togethercount. This has deprecated len however len will stick around as an alias for backwards compatibilitylet: +=, -=, /=, *=addheading for adding headings to listslen get set and thus Murex can still move forward with changes to builtins but without breaking backwards compatibilityautocomplete now passes ISMETHOD variable to dynamic completions so those dynamic completions are aware if a command requesting auto-completion suggestions is being invoked as a method (mid-pipeline) or function (start of a pipeline)[, now supports inlining element, [[, lookups. eg [ a b [/map/c] ]@IncFiles or @IncDirs will now automatically append files and/or directories to their auto-completion suggestionsautocomplete directives: IncExeAll (like IncExePath but includes builtins, functions, aliases), IncManPage (include results from the man page parser – usually suppressed when autocomplete config is set)murex -c 'command' or when called in a shebang), it’s also now ugly tooselect now supports passing a file in the FROM syntax. eg select * FROM ./example.csv. The caveat here is this breaks currently auto-complete on column namesselect now supports multiple tables using either named pipes (eg select * FROM <table1>, <table2>) or variables (eg select * FROM \$table1, \$table2) passed in the FROM syntax. Variables should be escaped and you cannot mix and match between named pipes, file names nor variables. You can use any number of tables from 1 to 2^63-1 (64bit systems) or 1 to 2^31-1 (32bit systems). Which should be more than enough ;)config option for select to define default output data type where multiple tables are importedNon-user facing changes (internal changes to the Murex code base):
open functions can now be called by other functions to take advantage of auto-typing and auto gunzip etc.tmp.Close() should return err. This isn’t a bug but it might catch future bugsLazyLogging created to speed up writing tests against data structuresutils/List package created to handle list / array / map functions. Also makes testing more complex routines easierBug fixes:
prepend was invoking appendstreams.ReadCloser not setting contextparameters.StringArray() should copy values instead of a pointer to ensure the underlying parameters are immutablePublished: 12.02.2022 at 16:16
