Hi Everyone.
Since I work a lot with animations and elaborate scenarios, I have written many
macros in recent years, some of which expand the Povray possibilities
considerably.
They can be used to search in strings, search, sort and crop arrays, and much
more. Maybe helpful for you too?
Download and documentation:

Have fun,
Martin

might be, can't tell unfortunately ;-). the downloaded .7z cannot be listed
with (BSD) 'tar' on my machine(s), nor extracted.

Strange ... strange ... STRANGE.
I thought 7-zip had already established itself as one of the standards.
I think about to switch back to ZIP.
Maybe the lady likes to test this file:

Not mentioned on the website at the moment, for your eyes only :)
First thing I had to do was to duckduckgo what BSD means at all.

And not even in this thread!
Ladies or whatever you are, I check whether I can also store the files as
text-file that can be displayed directly in the Browser.

you're correct, it's well established. your file was the first .7z I had a
problem with; no worries, may have been a "glitch".

thank you, appreciated.

yes, there's more to the world than (just) MS Windows :-).
fwiw, 'MA_String2Array()' "jumped out" at me as I had need of something similar,
though simpler.

Sorry, I will work on my behavior. Promised.

Phh ... this is my world:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/
2nd Pi 5 ordered few week ago (for povray-jobs only), have three Pi 4, many
older ones ...
So I can tell you, the Pi 5 renders pure povray-scripts 2.87 times faster than
the Pi 4.

Then you know how painfull it is, to write the string and array macros from
scratch, that are part of every other programming language.
But I needed them!

Damn, I posted this thread in the wrong group.
If anyone can fix this, please feel free.

hi,
> Phh ... this is my world:
"strange .. strange .. strange" :-) I'd have thought being a Linux user, you'd
know all the "creation myths" of the unices including BSDs.
I never got round to playing with Pis, alas. (along with countless other things
:-))

fast ? <https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~sjc/raspberrypi/pi_pictures.htm>
may also be a fun way to keep the older ones running.

yes. writing SDL macros _is_ character-building ;-).

while "nosing around" the .inc file more, this comment caught my eye:
MA_Terminal_T*
Sends Text and/or variables to the terminal-window. Nice to have during
development of programming-tasks.
Unfortunately povray doesnt know something about ...
- optional parameters
would it not be a good idea to update your 'ma_helpers.inc' to version 3.8 ?
you'd get to use the new 'optional' keyword for macro arguments:
