I’ve received a few requests to modify varscoper and add support for cfcs written completely in cfscript. I don’t usually write cfcs completely in script, so I’m looking for a little help in order to expedite development.

Things I’m looking for…

  • Code samples — I’d like to get a representative sample of what people are writing. This might be included/released as part of a test case, so please don’t send anything sensitive.
  • RegEx help — Are you a regex wiz? If you can help provide an expression that can isolate function blocks it would be a huge help.
  • New ideas on how to parse code — varscoper is heavily dependent on regular expressions. This isn’t the ideal tool to use when parsing irregular strings, any ideas on other tools/libraries to use would be a big help

I don’t have a timeline on a release, but with some help I’d like to get something out soon. If you can help, feel free to comment below, use the contact form above, or contact me on twitter
