Although the languages that we train on are much more stable (and unchanging) than you might think, people are always coming up with new uses and asking for further examples; many of the examples out there aren't quite right, are too complex, or aren't relevant in the UK. So I find myself writing and uploading new and modified sample programs all the time.
Want a
regular expression to recognise a NIN (National Insurance Number), or an example of how to embed a new
C function into Tcl? Are you looking for a piece of code that uses the
Gadfly database? All these are recent requests, and all three are now up on our website along with a whole lot more.
All of the above were uploaded onto our web site yesterday evening, and we can cover them in class too; the NIN number example and Gadfly are in our
"additional Python facilities" module. We cover C functions into Tcl and Vice Versa in our
"Using Tcl from C" module.
