Hi all-
Do you guys think there might be a way, either at this time or in the near future, to replace `BEGIN' with `{' and `END' with `}' in FPC code, and still be able to successfully compile it? Thanks.

Definately not! This is what makes C look so damn ugly.
cheers

Not if we can help it. This is pascal, not C.
Besides, { } is used for comments.
Michael.

Here it is:
echo /* test*/ program test; {writeln('hello'); }. |\ sed -e"s/{/begin/g" | sed -e"s/}/end/g" | fpc -o hello
Enjoy, but remember that there are also comments.

Hey, I've been programming in Pascal on virtually all platforms and OSes for almost 20 years now and I don't plan on switching to C anytime soon. It's just that, for the last two years, I've been also using Perl and found the `{...}' syntax to be quite handy. I was hoping an alternative block syntax might be implemented in FPC, especially since for comments one can also use `(*...*)'. But it's okay, I got the general idea... :)
