"Znlpi_infSrcModify" class

Description

Parent classes:

Operations:

public modify_new_task_list ( self in object, PARENTS in list ) :
private _ensure_task_source_line ( _parent in ZClass, _source_id in string, _line in integer ) :
private _inc_infSrcOffset ( _parent in ZClass, _source in string, _line in integer, _offset in integer ) :
public modify_inf_source ( self in object, PARENTS in list, _source_id in string, _lines in list ) return list :

Attributes:

public modify_new_task_list (
      self in object ,
      PARENTS in list )

This creates a task list out of inform Objects and some functions.

Step by step:

- Task list and line offset list are first emptied.

- Loop through all objects and add specific tasks

These are responsible to do it only if necessary

- e.g. for non-empty picture lists and blorb switched on

- then create one-time tasks like file inclusion

- finally set the time stamp

Parameters:

private _ensure_task_source_line (
      _parent in ZClass ,
      _source_id in string ,
      _line in integer )

local subroutine to ensure that a dictionary entry for that line exists

Parameters:

private _inc_infSrcOffset (
      _parent in ZClass ,
      _source in string ,
      _line in integer ,
      _offset in integer )

increments the offset list by _offset

Parameters:

public modify_inf_source (
      self in object ,
      PARENTS in list ,
      _source_id in string ,
      _lines in list )
   return list

Takes as input a list of lines from a particular source and applies the Znlpi_infSrcTask-list to it.

Step by step:

- first check if there are any tasks for that particular source

- loop through all lines

- if any task is to do:

- first task has to be handled different from others (see caveat)

Parameters:
