- use `#word` to concatenate, expand content with the resulting string
being treated as a word token. Can be used in dictionary or
primitive context.
In dictionary context, it fills the gap for constructing dictionary
names on-the-fly. For example,
```
#word "some_prefix_solverInfo_${application}"
{
type solverInfo;
libs (utilityFunctionObjects);
...
}
```
The '#word' directive will automatically squeeze out non-word
characters. In the block content form, it will also strip out
comments. This means that this type of content should also work:
```
#word {
some_prefix_solverInfo
/* Appended with application name (if defined) */
${application:+_} // Use '_' separator
${application} // The application
}
{
type solverInfo;
libs (utilityFunctionObjects);
...
}
```
This is admittedly quite ugly, but illustrates its capabilities.
- use `#message` to report expanded string content to stderr.
For example,
```
T
{
solver PBiCG;
preconditioner DILU;
tolerance 1e-10;
relTol 0;
#message "using solver: $solver"
}
```
Only reports on the master node.
- simplify compile/uncompile, reading, assignment
- implicit construct wordRe from keyType (was explicit) to simplify
future API changes.
- make Foam::isspace consistent with std::isspace (C-locale)
by including vertical tab and form feed
ENH: improve #ifeq float/label comparisons
- string expansions have supported "${var:-default}" syntax for
several versions, but this did not apply plain dictionary expansions.
Eg, the following did not parse
massFlow ${entry1:-100};
ENH: remove content and length restriction on '${..}' quoted variables
- allows this type of content:
velocity2 ${velocity1:- ( 0 -100 10) };
- accept empty parameter strings for entries. This allows the
following expansion to work as expected:
hex (n1 n2..) ${inletBlock:-} (10 10 10) simpleGrading (1 1 1)
ie, optionally define the cellZone name for a given block
ENH: add single parameter dictionary writeEntry method.
- the dictionary knows its own name (dictName), which can be used
when writing content
- replace stringOps::toScalar with a more generic stringOps::evaluate
method that handles scalars, vectors etc.
- improve #eval to handle various mathematical operations.
Previously only handled scalars. Now produce vectors, tensors etc
for the entries. These tokens are streamed directly into the entry.
