Syntax Scripts

The idea of this is to cover a whole bunch of basic syntaxes for several languages so that its all in one place and easy to look up if i want to know how to do a regex replace for each item in a list in any language for example. Also could be nice for people to look at potentially when learning new languages, and will likely help me learn new languages as I could just make it a task to add a new language to this list! This will probably mainly focus on "scripting" languages that dont require a lot of extra files/projects to be around in order to run them, but we'll see where it goes.

Languages Implemented

• powershell
• python
• nodejs
• bash
• C#
• c/c++?
• go?
• rust?
• java?
• ahk
• lua

A THOUGHT I'VE JUST HAD

Maybe instead of just an example script thing that doesnt really have a purpose, we give this script a job and a purpose, and each language has to do the same job/purpose. Could be interesting

todo

• add more languages
• add more stuff to the script
• add a thing to test that theyre all the same

Stuff to Cover

• func to print log info (use ] syntax)
  • maybe do a thing so you can pass in regular args
• func to do some regex operation on a string?
• strings
  • string templating
  • other string formatting stuff?
  • escaping quotes and newlines
  • check equality, do lowercase, startswith
  • regex?
    • replace
    • match finding
    • groups replacing
    • custom groups replace function
• lists/arrays
  • creation,addingstuff
  • foreach
  • for index,item
  • filter,map,etc, lambda functions
  • joining,splitting
• dictionaries
  • creating
  • list all keys
  • list all values
  • for loop?
  • maybe combine this with the json stuff
• os file structure navigation
  • get directory of currently running script
  • navigate to the /data directory
  • list files in dir
  • path join
  • abs path
  • check if exists
  • splitting path (ext, filename, dir)
• json
  • read file
  • convert to json object
  • edit
  • print pretty
  • print compressed
  • convert back
  • write file
• inspect objects
  • enumerate property names on object
  • print type of object
  • reflection to get object name
• rest api requests
• asyncio stuff
• regex tools
• including other files?
• accepting commandline input?
• run console commands
• comment documentation?
• set/get clipboard?
• exiting early + red console logging
• exception stack trace printing etc
• datetime stuff
• a readme file in the language dir that explains when to use it, where to get it, how to run it, what package manager to use, etc.
• other scripts to include:
  • minimal.ps1: shows the basic barebones you need for a script
  • domath.ps1: you give it args and it shows parsing command line shit in a super minimal way. could also show comment documentation example for something like this
  • draw.ps1: loads an image, does turtle drawing stuff, saves the image
  • use-libraries.ps1: shows how to import other files and import libraries etc
  • asyncio.ps1: shows how to do async/await stuff in most basic way possible
