Path Macro Maker for TinyFugue

pathmaker.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def path_maker(name, path)
  input_array = path.split
  defstring = "/def #{name} = "
  path = []
  
  input_array.each do |step|
    if step[0].match(/\d/)  
      s = split_step(step)
      s[0].times { path << s[1] } 
    else
      path << step
    end
  end

  return defstring + path.join("%;") 
end

def split_step(step)
  return [step.match(/\d+/)[0..-1][0].to_i, step.split(/\d/)[-1]]
end

puts path_maker(ARGV[0], ARGV[1])

This script has no error checking and expects the first argument to be the name you want the path to be followed by a path string enclosed in quotes. Just copy the resulting line to your ~/.tfrc and run /name to call your macro.

Here's an example:

[00:45][christopher@ryleh:~/tmp]$ ./pathmaker.rb goblin_caves "9e 3se 3e s se 2s sw s w 2s se s 2e d 3n e ne"
/def goblin_caves = e%;e%;e%;e%;e%;e%;e%;e%;e%;se%;se%;se%;e%;e%;e%;s%;se%;s%;s%;sw%;s%;w%;s%;s%;se%;s%;e%;e%;d%;n%;n%;n%;e%;ne

Just found a bug where the script doesn't account for path numbers larger than 9 (for example, 12w would mangle the path). Fix incoming.

Fixed to account for an arbitrary multiplier for a given step.
