Trying to get a list of available JavaScript functions/methods

[thegman]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get list of JavaScript methods/functions in a script
file in much the same a good text editor will, the difference being
that I need to output it to a file or stdout, or some other way of
"getting at it" automatically. I'm not fussy about what language I
use, be it JavaScript or something else. Anyone got any ideas? I've
tried Exuberant Ctags, but that does not seem to work on very advanced
scripts like Ext.

I'm guessing the best way would be to have some kind of interrogation
of a HTMLScriptEleme nt or something, but I can't see how to get a
simple list of functions/methods from that.

Alternatively, any C library for parsing JS might be a good idea, even
Python, Perl, PHP, whatever really, anyone got any recommendations ?

Cheers

Garry

You are about the 1337th person to ask that question here. Care to do
a *little* research before you bother other people with your problems?

If you had intended to be helpful, you would have given the number of
the relevant section. There is no section which, to the intended
audience, will appear helpful. [snipped flame]

I did not write all of that. Don't quote misleadingly. Still, it's
nice to know that you do see that you are considered to be like. Once
you start to believe that (you are a slow learner), progress might be
made.

>The relevant section is the one describing where the newsgroup's archives are.

OP (thegman) : did you realise that? Do you consider it helpful?

PointedEars, you are so unhelpful in all your "wisdom." I made an
account just to tell you how useless your comments are even though you
appear to know something.
