- TFParse Delphi Component, version 2.0 (8/14/96)
-
- All source code copyright 1996 Kevin L. Boylan
-
- The TFParse Delphi component makes it easy to parse words from files,
- strings, or PChars. It allows you to carefully define what makes a word
- and what words will be parsed. TFParse makes it easy to perform tasks
- like indexing words for full text search and retrieval applications.
- It works on both Delphi 1 and Delphi 2. Source included. Example program
- included. Help files included. Not crippled. SHAREWARE - SWREG 12486 $12
-
- This has not been tested on a system other than mine so please let me know
- if there are any missing files or something that doesn't work. I am continuing
- to improve this component so also let me know if you have any suggestions for
- enhancements. Thanks!
-
- IMPORTANT - Please be aware that starting with this version, this component uses
- exception handling to detect when it is done parsing a file, string, or
- PChar. If you have 'Break on Exceptions' selected in the environment options
- dialog box, then the program will break into the debugger each time parsing is
- done. If you do not want this to happen, just de-select that option.
-
- SHAREWARE - This component is now shareware. While I was distributing this
- component as freeware originally, in order for me to continue it's development
- and maintenance and to justify the time I've put into it, I'm asking that if
- you find it useful and are able to utilize it in your work, that you register
- through Compuserve (GO SWREG). I am keeping the price to a minimum as I am only
- trying to recoup a small amount of cost. There is nothing in the software that
- keeps you from running it without registering. I would just hope that if you
- use the component, $12 would not seem like too much to register, get on the
- mailing list for future upgrades and be eligible for support. FEEL FREE TO TEST
- THOROUGHLY AND LET ME KNOW OF ANY BUGS FIRST.
-
- REGISTRATION $12 SWREG# 12486
-
- Just get on Compuserve, GO SWREG, and enter the number 12486.
- This will get you on the mailing list and I'll let you know of any upgrades
- to the component as they come out. Also, if you have any ideas for added
- features, or if you need support, just send me a message to my compuserve account,
- 75221.1057 (or internet at 75221.1057@compuserve.com).
-
- Component Installation:
-
- Put the Component files (FPARSE.PAS and FPARSE.DCR) into a directory where you
- will keep non-Borland components (If you are installing to Delphi version 1,
- copy FPARSE16.DCR instead and rename it to FPARSE.DCR). Then in Delphi click
- the Options|Install Components menu selection. Be sure that the directory with
- the component files is included in the 'Search Path' edit box on this screen.
- If not, add it. Next, click the Add button and then the Browse button and find
- the directory that you just copied the component's files to. Find and select
- the FPARSE.PAS file. Now click OK. Click OK again and the component will be
- compiled. You are now out of the Install Components dialog box. You will find
- the TFParse component has been added to the Samples pallette.
-
- Move the TFPARSE.HLP file from your component directory to your DELPHI\BIN
- directory. Move the TFPARSE.KWF file to your DELPHI\HELP directory. Now run
- the HELPINST.EXE (either double click from File Manager in the HELP directory
- or from the icon in Program Manager. Now, while in HELPINST, click the open
- file toolbar button and find and select the DELPHI.HDX file in the DELPHI\BIN
- directory. Then click the '+' toolbar button and find and select the
- TFPARSE.KWF file in the DELPHI\HELP directory. This will add the TFPARSE.KWF
- file to the listbox that you can see. Now click the 'Save' toolbar button and
- the TFPARSE help file will be registered with Delphi. You may now exit.
-
- Installing help in this way will allow you to get context sensitive help on each
- property and event by pressing F1 while a particular property or event is selected
- in the Object Inspector.
