copied!<p>Building on Athena's answer, here is my generalized solution that yields an object of name/value pairs, each representing a metadata property. Note that certain properties can have multiple values, (@include, @exclude, @require, @resource), therefore my parser captures those as Arrays - or in the case of @resource, as a subordinate Object of name/value pairs.</p> <pre> var scriptMetadata = parseMetadata(.toString()); function parseMetadata(headerBlock) { // split up the lines, omitting those not containing "// @" function isAGmParm(element) { return /\/\/ @/.test(element); } var lines = headerBlock.split(/[\r\n]+/).filter(isAGmParm); // initialize the result object with empty arrays for the enumerated properties var metadata = { include: [], exclude: [], require: [], resource: {} }; for each (var line in lines) { [line, name, value] = line.match(/\/\/ @(\S+)\s*(.*)/); if (metadata[name] instanceof Array) metadata[name].push(value); else if (metadata[name] instanceof Object) { [rName, rValue] = value.split(/\s+/); // each resource is named metadata[name][rName] = rValue; } else metadata[name] = value; } return metadata; } // example usage GM_log("version: " + scriptMetadata["version"]); GM_log("res1: " + scriptMetadata["resource"]["res1"]); </pre> <p>This is working nicely in my scripts.</p> <p>EDIT: Added @resource and @require, which were introduced in Greasemonkey 0.8.0.</p> <p>EDIT: FF5+ compatibility, Array.filter() no longer accepts a regular expression</p>
