clear all variables in the here namespace

vince_faller — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 17:17:42 GMT

is there any way to delete the here namespace? Or more to the point, all the variables in it without knowing the variable names?

namespace("here") << Delete

doesn't seem to work. I could << Get contents and for through it, but I'm just wondering if there's a better way.

See if this will do what you want:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
x=44;
show(here:x);
clear symbols();
show(here:x);

nah, I want only the here namespace to be deleted (even more than cleared really)

::y = 14;
Names Default To Here( 1 );
x=44;
show(here:x);
show(::y);
delete symbols();
show(::y);

Does this work:

namespace("here")<<remove(namespace("here")<<getkeys);

At least you don't have to for through it.
