mmreplace.inf has everything that MMReplace needs MMReplace gets the bas file path from %bas% which is the full path and name of the bas file. I must admit that I haven't use MMReplace for a long time. Jim Edited 2026-08-29 18:27 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |

MMReplace expects a line like below as the first line of the file. It is used to tell MMCC where to connect. However if MMCC is already be connected it is not required so should not be mandatory. As a work around add a target line like this, until I update to make it not mandatory. 'target port\com6:115200 s\picomite Footnote added 2026-08-29 19:59 by disco4now This is done in MMReplace.exe It is treating the passed INCLUDE file as relative to the location of the current file. Will need a code change to recognise when the drive has changed. F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Hi Jim, Latest source for MMReplace.exe MMReplaceV5All.zip F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

got it working now, thanks to your support. Absolute filespecifiers and Jim's suggestion for #MODULE would be a big improvement, but this is only my POV. It would let one create a source library on the IDE side and make it easier to integrate changes in that lib into the sources which are referring them. Just a matter of "replace and deploy" instead of cutting out the old lib code and inserting the new one. Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

MMReplace.EXE updated to accept Absolute or Relative path for #INCLUDE directive and also does not make a 'target entry mandatory. A relative path is determine by the include path starting with a period. It is specified relative to the directory where the currently selected file is located. #Include "../sptools/src/splib/math.inc" or as an absolute path #Include "C:/Users/gerry/Documents/MMBasic/sptools/src/splib/math.inc" MMReplace.zip F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Gerry, This used the source before your change to INCLUDE paths. I have added code in 4 places. You should be able to find it by searching for tassyjim (in comments) So far, I have only returned the expanded file to MMEdit. Changes: before start of processing - globals and extractmodule procedure just after "wrong num parameters" - read preferences before debug directive - codebase and codemodule directives start of Production output - close files and write preferences On first run, a file "MMmodule.inf is created in the MMEdit5 data folder The only entry is for the path to the module source files. They can be in a sub-folder. If blank, the absolute path is required for the source files, To change this base folder, use #CODEBASE folder$ in your .bas file to insert a module, use #CODEMODULE modulefilename$ name$ module filename can include a path relative to the codebase folder no spaces in path In the library/module files, start the module with '#MODULE name$ no quotes and no spaces conclude the module with '#MODULEEND Permitted: any number of modules in any number of files. File to receive module  After running "replace"  Module fie:  Source and exe MMReplaceV5All.zip No alterations to any other code so I don't think I have messed with the running Jim VK7JH MMedit |

@Gerry: thanks, absolute pathnames work. Wonderful !! @Jim: sorry, but can't get your version to work. I've done the following: - in user.tkn I have inserted all the new tokens (#CODEBASE #CODEMODULE #MODULE #MODULEEND). The tokens are now properly highlighted in the code. - copied your binary to replace the old MMReplace.exe - inserted the #codebase and #codemodule in the "main" and the #module and #moduleend in the "library". on replace and deploy there is no errormessage but also no action except that the new tokens do not appear on the target (LIST) but the rest of the "main" code. No traces of the "library" code. btw, if I understand it right, the #MODULE and #MODULEEND should not be a comment. I've tried both (commented out and in the code) but no effect. And is it correct that your version does not require the path/file/module-names to be double-quoted? For Gerry's tokens (#INCLUDE) it is necessary.

'#MODULE and '#MODULEEND both need comments to allow the library file to run if required. no quotes around paths and filenames but no spaces in the names. In my example the module is in c:\apps\bas\moduletest.bas made up from c:\apps\bas\ (codebase) and moduletest.bas (filename) Could you give me the exact #codebase and #codemodule in the "main" and the #module and #moduleend in the "library". Also look at the contents of MMmodule.inf in the MMEdit5 data folder and make sure it matches the codebase path you entered. Rather than replace and deploy, try replace. That should result in a new file opened in MMEdit Jim I have added some error reporting MMReplaceV5All.zip Edited 2026-08-31 10:34 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim, A few tweaks. I think an extra space when searching for the CODEMODULE name was stopping it working. I have changed the error reporting so the load is aborted if errors exist. I have tested Replace and Deploy, seems OK. version$="5.21 - 31 Aug 2026" ; Jim's CODEMODULE added version$="5.22 - 31 Aug 2026" ; Jim's CODEMODULE Error messages for not found modules added ; Extra space removed from modstart$ = "'#MODULE" ; Error if no 'MODULEEND found ; Errors now use ShowFatalError() and abort the loading if an incorrect file MMReplace.zip MMReplaceV5All.zip F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Thanks for those changes Gerry. The trailing space in "'#MODULE" was to stop it getting confused with #MODULEEND" Not sure if it could confuse things. I was considering making quotes around the paths to closer match your code. I will wait until we see how Gerald goes. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Jim, - the content of MMmodule.inf seem to be correct. Code Store = Z:\Kits\PicoMite\BAS\!Lib\!src_lib - attached zip contains my simple test: include_test.bas = source all.bas = library include_test_x.bas = result include_test.zip 73 de Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

#CODEBASE Z:\Kits\PicoMite\BAS\!Lib\!src_lib\ #CODEMODULE all.bas sys_kill_file missing the final '\' on the first line and missing the 'E" of the end of #CODEMODULE The version of MMreplace that Gerry posted 2 posts ago has error checking and reporting which will help catch those errors. Fixing htose 2 errors and using the latest MMreplace works for me. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Thanks Jim, I have to apologize. But 2 weeks of toothache, an extracted tooth, an infection in the gum and being now more or less a permanent patient at the dentist did let me lack my concentration. After doing it right it worked immediately ... Thanks again. This is a wonderful complement to the MMEdit IDE. Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Hi Jim, I still have some troubles with the library functions: if there are more than one #MODULE /#MODULEEND in a library-file then - only the first entry is found - and the complete content of the lib-file is included all other referenced entries throw an error. In the example below if mod1 is uncommented, it is found but the whole file is included. If e.g. only mod3 is uncommented mod3 is not found. Main program: 'target port\com3:115200 s\picomite OPTION EXPLICIT OPTION DEFAULT NONE #CODEBASE Z:\Kits\PicoMite\BAS\!Lib\!src_lib\ '#CODEMODULE testlib.bas mod1 '#CODEMODULE testlib.bas mod2 #CODEMODULE testlib.bas mod3 '#CODEMODULE testlib.bas mod4 Library file: ' '#MODULE mod1 dim integer var1 '#MODULEEND '#MODULE mod2 dim integer var2 '#MODULEEND '#MODULE mod3 dim integer var3 '#MODULEEND '#MODULE mod4 dim integer var4 '#MODULEEND Another issue is that if I align comments in MMEdit the '#MODULE becomes ' #MODULE which is not recognised by the program as module label any longer. Maybe you can treat '# and ' # the same. Same for #MODULEEND btw. Or is it possible to change the behavour of MMEdit so it does not insert a space after the ' ? Hope I didn't make a fatal typo somewhere again .... Thanks, Gerld Edited 2026-09-01 15:59 by ville56 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Gerald This should fix the handling of multiple modules. I don't quite understand the align comments. Is this a formatting issue in MMEdit which adjusts the comments. MMReplace.zip Gerry F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

| TassyJim Guru Joined: 07/08/2011 Location: AustraliaPosts: 6600 |
MMEdit changes '#... to ' #... when you "align comments" (adds a space) I can fix that There is also a problem loosing lines that start with '# (no space) I am not sure where that is happening. I found a few other improvements but I need more time to test Jim Edited 2026-09-01 18:17 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim, Are you referring to MMEdit or MMReplace. I have fixed MMReplace to accept a library file that has comments aligned. sourceline$ = ReadString(fID) sourceline$=ReplaceString( sourceline$,"' #","'#") Do you want the MMreplace source update? Gerry F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

Gerry, thanks for the MMReplace changes. Have done some basic testing and ut works now as expected. There is just one minor cosmetic issue with the comments you insert. A space is missing between #MODULE and the modulename like: ' Start '#MODULEMOD1 fixing that would enhance readability. Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |
