Program Evaluate;
(* 10/1189  *)
(* Uploaded by Pat Dant  *)
(* Based on the Pascal Unit Eval that allows you to take a string
   and perform a recurssive math function on the string resulting
   in a real answer.
   This Exe version allows the command line argument to be the string
   and will print the answer on the screen at the current cursor position.*)

(* ExpValue unit is designed by Don McIver in his very well written program
   SCB Checkbook Program. Currently version 4.2.*)

Uses  Dos, Crt, Eval;

const
 EvalStrPos           =  1;

var
 EvalString           :  string;
 Answer               :  real;
 EvalError            :  Boolean;

 begin
   ClrScr;
   Answer := 0;
   EvalError := False;
   Answer := ExpValue(ParamStr(EvalStrPos),EvalError );
   if EvalError then begin
      Writeln('Error in Command Line Format : ',Answer:8:2);
      Halt;
   end;
   Write(Answer:8:2);
