Substitute (an application of the same kind as InBetween)

[Roland Chastain]

Hello!

I would like to introduce a little tool that I have just made.

Substitute is a command line tool of the same kind (although much less sophisticated for now) as InBetween by Odd Gunnar Malin, or as UciFilter by Volker Annuss. Instead of starting an engine, you start Substitute with the engine name as parameter (or written in substitute.ini). Substitute creates a file (substitute.log) where you can see the messages sent by the user and the messages sent by the engine.

The name is a bit difficult to type, and I don't know if it's really meaningful. Maybe someone will find a better one.

Substitute is a Pascal program. It has been tested only under Linux, but should work also under other environments. For now I don't provide binaries. If you wish to try the program, it's very easy to compile it with Free Pascal Compiler:

Code: Select all

fpc -Mobjfpc -Sh substitute.pas

If someone is really interested (which I doubt), I will provide a Linux binary. I no longer use Windows at all.

The source code is here:

Hello!

I made small improvements to my code, and tested the program with different configurations. It seems to work well. So I decided to give it a version number.

I made a Linux binary. I will make one for Windows tomorrow.

Thank you Roland, looking forward to trying the Windows binary.

Thank you Roland, looking forward to trying the Windows binary.

Sorry for the late answer. The Windows binary is ready.
