As I stated in the other thread by Rob Farley... It was such a great idea that he had that I had to make one of my own. This one is a standalone windows app I created with visual basic (6 not .net you .net haters).

Function definitions that have default values are handled (pain in my butt to parse) by deleting the default value from the definition. I don't think you should run into any definitions that this program doesn't like, but like Rob said about his, if you find some that give it fits... Let me know so I can figure out why.

It has the following functionality currently:

Parses a single blitz file or all included files (user choosable)
Allows selective export of functions to a .decls file

Things to add:

Text / RTF / HTML / Compiled Help File creation

I'm thinking this might be a natural app to add a code-base to. Database archiving of functions, constants, types. Then when you want to use them it assembles them into a standard blitz file and creates a decls file for them.

Also, I'm thinking maybe I should take out my .net hat and create a .decls file creator plugin for protean...........



Anyway... Here's the first iteration
