Directive #xcommand | #xtranslate | Xbase++

Defines user-defined commands or translation directive

#xcommand   <search rule> => <replacement rule>
#xtranslate <search rule> => <replacement rule>

<search rule> is a character string that defines a rule describing the search pattern to use when the preprocessor scans source code.

<replacement rule> is a character string that defines a rule describing how to output the text matched using the <search rule>.

The two directives #xcommand and #xtranslate are nearly identical to the directives #command and #translate. The only difference is that they do not follow the dBASE convention of considering only the first four characters of keywords and function names. #xcommand and #xtranslate consider significant all the characters of a keyword or function name. Other than this these two directives function exactly like #command and #translate (see #command).
