Yesterday I wrote my first useful program in Eiffel! It is a file processing utility program that examines web pages in a directory and generates a report on which web pages are missing a style sheet.
I’ve been adding a style sheet to my technical notes which I keep in a compiled HTML help file. I now have 399 web pages in this project so finding web pages without a style sheet needs to be automated.
My Eiffel program helped me to find many web pages without the line of code for the style sheet.
But just dating my report was fairly difficult. I had to figure out how to add the time library to my class cluster in EiffelStudio. This is not very well documented in their help file and the English, German, and French date/time formats caused a conflict because the classes all had the same name.
