Sending SKILL commands to a running instance of ICFB

Thank you so much all of you, my "emacs -> icfb communication" dream is so close to become true !

Since I know 'skill language, I've always wanted to be able to launch my code direcly from emacs rather than 'middle-click paste' or 'load "myFile.il"' . Like in gnuplot-mode with :'Send line to gnuplot' 'Send line & move forward' ''Send region to gnuplot'' and 'Send buffer to gnuplot. Here I am describing the features I want in gsimard futur skill-mode. Guillaume, could you do that for me please ? I am not asking you, but begging you, imploring you, respecting you so much for sharing this futur skill-mode.el.

I've heard  a long time ago about a similar feature so called 'gate to opus. But I have never been able to find/use it. I have meerly tried also a former skillmode4.4 made by Jonas jarnestrom. That mode looked very powerfull but had no syntax highlight (or I was using it uncorrecly...). I now use a skillMode.el ; created    07/02/07 by M.Masa, but it is not enough powerfull.

I am mastering emacs shortcut, but I never write code in emacs lisp (unfortunatly) but it is so similar to skill that I should be able to do so. Actualy skill and emacs-lisp came from the same lisp parser... is that right Andrew ?

Here coms my contribution : I have done as Stephane A has sugested :

;; load "test.il" ;; in ICFB
procedure(socketHandler(ipcId data)
  printf("COMMAND: %L\n" data)
  evalstring(data)
)
ipcBeginProcess("emacs" "" 'socketHandler)

loading this file in icfb opens an emacs. I this emacs I open a file.el in Emacs-lisp mode in which I have the following lines :

(send-string-to-terminal "pwd")
(send-string-to-terminal " println(\"hello\") \n")
(send-string-to-terminal "pwd()")
(send-string-to-terminal " println(\"world\\n\")")
(send-string-to-terminal " println(\"!\")")
(send-string-to-terminal " printf(\"Hello\\n\\t World!\")")

 Then I 'Evaluate buffer' (or C-x C-e on every line) and ! magic ! icfb prints :

COMMAND: "pwd println(\"hello\") \npwd()"
COMMAND: " println(\"world\\n\") println(\"!\") printf(\"Hello\\n\\t World!\")"
"world\n"
"!"
Hello

 Do you see my problem ? First, there is a missing "World!" not printed,icfb expecting a Return or something. Second, I have tobackslash every dbl quote. I suppose it could be treated with some emacs macro (still I don't know how, due to my too few knowledge in emacs-lisp). Third problem : pwd is probably evaluated, but it is not outputed in the icfb window...

Any hints we be welcomed.

To Andrew: Maybe someday I'll come up with my own emacs mode for skill, if that's so I'll release the source code ;)

I am, as you might have understood, eagerly expexting your release. I will be please to help you to develop such mode Guillaume, but I am more an anlog designer than an emacs geek. Please let me know if I can 'beta test' your code.

 Thanks for this tread.
