$SyntaxHandler
Usage
• $SyntaxHandler is a global variable which, if set, is applied to any input string that is found to contain a syntax error.
Notes
• The arguments given to $SyntaxHandler are the complete input string and an integer specifying the character position at which the syntax error was detected. • The first character in the string is taken to have position 1. • Any string returned by $SyntaxHandler is used as a new version of the input string, and is fed to Mathematica. If the string does not end with a newline, Mathematica waits for input to complete the line. • If $SyntaxHandler returns $Failed, input to Mathematica is abandoned if possible. • Input is not assigned to InString[n] until after $SyntaxHandler is applied. • $SyntaxHandler is not called for input from files obtained using Get. • New in Version 2.
