newLISP Fan Club

As an example, in a Windows *.bat file use this:

echo "%var%" | clip.exe
pasteclipboard.exe
yournewlispfile.exe

The file yournewlispfile.exe is your newlisp compiled file, which must include these commands:

(set 'option (exec "pasteclipboard.exe"))
(set 'myvar(parse (option 0)))
I know it is a dirty way of doing things, but honestly after struggling with dll's import I failed miserably.

I am now attaching a zipped file with the pasteclipboard.exe here:

Info from manual :

reset restores the top-level variable environment using the saved variable environments on the stack.

But I can't "restores the top-level variable environment using the saved variable environments on the stack" using it:

Bug or feature?

Thanks.
I can use the "clip" command, but where is "pasteclipboard.exe" ?
I have found: "powershell get-clipboard" to get text from clipboard.

I use a call to pasteclipboard.exe to read from the clipboard. Here, an example:

(set 'option (exec "pasteclipboard.exe"))
(set 'optid (parse (option 0)))
(when (= (join optid) "0") (myfunction))
.
.
.

To put something on the clipboard I call clip.exe (all of this under Windows OS)

Another bug on this way: timer and read-key can't used together
(setq c nil interval 0,001)
(define (output)
    (if c
        (begin
          (print (char c))
          (setq c nil)
          ))
    (timer 'output interval)
    )
(output)
In console:
      > (setq c 100)
      100
      > d

      > (setq c (read-key))
      13
      0 > ## a context "0" ???

      0 > (context)
      MAIN
      >

AutoHotKey? Can't even imagine this.

Enchanced REPL is like a emacs/readline but for one string:
 - autocompletion by TAB:
     - functions using (filter lambda? (symbols)) 
     - args using (type) and function definitions
 - swapping two elements in line by C-t|C-M-t
 - highlight substrings using xterm esc-sequences and ConEmu's interface
and so on.
For example, look at ipython.

Sorry, I can't help you.
But what do you mean by "enhanced REPL"?
I use Notepad++ connected to a REPL via Autohotkey script.
Far more powerful than only REPL.
Thanks.

Yes, everything is fine with blocking form of read-key: it catch F1, UTF8 two-byte codes, and even CTRL-C (!) returs code 3.

Problems in non-blocking reading:
1) F1 (code 0 59) because 0 is default result of (read-key true) means "no key pressed", and IMHO it must return nil;
2) UTF8 non-onebyte char - leads to infinite loop and crash.
This two problems block for me creating enhanced REPL.
PS Does someone knew how to catch win32 keyboard events  like key-press|key-release ?
I have weak skills in FFI

This works for me:

(define (keys)
  (local (k)
    (while (!= (setq k (read-key)) 13)
      (setq s (string k))
      (println s))))
(keys)
