Irule

Irule, the .I.ron.RU.by tc.L. .E.xtension, is a Ruby library that provides a minimal wrapper around the Tcl programming language for IronRuby_. It mimics the “load_from_file“ and “eval“ methods from its more full-featured cousin, the tcl_ Ruby library.

Prerequisites

---

#. IronRuby. #. Tcl 8.5. #. Mono or .NET.

Installation

---

#. “igem install irule“, or just put “tcl.rb“ and “irule.dll“ somewhere in your “LOAD_PATH“. #. On Linux or Mac, add the following to the “<configuration>“

section of “/etc/mono/config“

<dllmap dll=“tcl85” target=“tcl8.5”/>

Usage

---

Sample code

require ‘tcl’

tcl = Tcl::Interp.load_from_file ‘some.tcl’ result = tcl.eval ‘someTclCode’
