Tried to set a font today with SetFont(), didn't work

[bullsei]

Hi, i tried to use this addon to call a function with arguments today. I typed "Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF", 11, "OUTLINE, MONOCHROME" into the arguments field and pressed enter. Since this Function doesn't give any feedback if the font was successfully changed i called GetFont() afterwards. It showed me that the SetFont() wasn't successful. Calling the same function per /run with the same arguments worked. I guess it has something todo with the handling of the \ character.

Hi, i had a little use for this feature so it is in pretty early state and can parse only comma separated values. One exception is table that should be specified as t=TableName. Tablename can be dot separateed.
t=Frame, 12, a12 => someFunction(_G.Frame (table) , 12 (number), a12 (string))
t=Frame.Frame2.Frame3 => someFunction(_G.Frame.Frame2.Frame3 (table))

So you use quotes and my parser will just parse them as is and pass string with quotes down the function and you also have comma inside a string so my parser will just create 4 args instead of 3. I'll try to fix this as soon as i can. Thank you for reporting.

And right now you can hack it yourself if you want to
Here is relative code.

ViragDevTool/ViragDevTool.lua

Lines 1021 to 1044 in 6c26ac8

	function ViragDevTool:SetArgForFunctionCallFromString(argStr)
	local args = self.split(argStr, ",") or {}
	local trim = function(s)
	return (s:gsub("^%s*(.-)%s*$", "%1"))
	end
	for k, arg in pairs(args) do
	arg = trim(arg)
	if tonumber(arg) then
	args[k] = tonumber(arg)
	elseif arg == "nil" then
	args[k] = nil
	elseif arg == "true" then
	args[k] = true
	elseif arg == "false" then
	args[k] = false
	end
	end
	self.settings.tArgs = args
	self:Add(args, "New Args for function calls")
	end

Table parsing part:

ViragDevTool/ViragDevTool.lua

Lines 915 to 924 in 6c26ac8

	local args = { unpack(self.settings.tArgs) }
	for k, v in pairs(args) do
	if type(v) == "string" and self.starts(v, "t=") then
	local obj = self:FromStrToObject(string.sub(v, 3))
	if obj then
	args[k] = obj
	end
	end
	end

Where FromStrToObject is

ViragDevTool/ViragDevTool.lua

Lines 359 to 372 in 6c26ac8

	function ViragDevTool:FromStrToObject(str)
	if str == "_G" then return _G end
	local vars = self.split(str, ".") or {}
	local var = _G
	for _, name in pairs(vars) do
	if var then
	var = var[name]
	end
	end
	return var
	end

Thanks for reply. I tried to pass only "Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF", 17 into the arguments field, didn't work either. So the problem is not only to related to commas being inside strings. I am not really sure what exactly is the problem tho.

don't use quotes, try Fonts\FRIZQT__.TTF, 17 i don't have access to wow/windows pc right now, will fix this as soon as i can
