In other words, WXP needed to be rewritten from the ground up. This became a prototype of the new WXP library. Since then, I've added more and more of WXP's functionality to the new WXP library. Now, very little of WXP4's source code remains. New Functionality Below is a list of the major new features included in WXP5.
Environment variables offer an intermediate solution to setting resources.
Rather than repeatedly specifying the same resources to different programs within a script, environment variables can be set, and these settings disappear when the script ends. New Naming Convention. The file name conventions, hard-coded in WXP4, have been moved to a name convention file so that more types of filenames could be used. A set of wildcard characters can be used to set date, time, and data type in the file name. This means programs can use data from more than one source.
