Nested With

[Franky]

Hi there,
hope, I am not bombing you too much with feature requests, but I'm working with PB all day,
so I find some more things that could be optimized than I did as a hobbyist

This one's a minor one and it's just for comfort, so priority is below "MultiDimensional Array in Structures" for me.
Nested With
First the definitions:

Code: Select all

Structure MyInnerStruct
   value1.l
  value2.l
EndStructure

Structure MainStruct
   name.s
  values.MyInnerStruct
EndStructure

Global Main.MainStruct

Now, currently I would fill that like this:

Code: Select all

With Main 
  \name=test
  \values\value1=5
  \values\value2=7
EndWith

or like this

Code: Select all

With Main 
  \name=test
EndWith
With Main\values
  \value1=5
  \value2=7
EndWith

So, what would work against Nested With:

Code: Select all

With Main 
  \name=test
  With \values
        \value1=5
        \value2=7
  EndWith
EndWith

To be true, it doesn't look that comfortable by now, but it's just a short example, so just imagin this with 5 or 6 SubStructures and some more Structure Members.

Additional to the intern "This is to replace the '\' with: 'Main\'"-Variable, the compiler would just need some kind of Stack to know, what part of the replacetext should be removed from this variable, when EndWith is called.

So far
