extracting serial repeats

[Andreas Roehler]

Hi,

let's consider the following pseudo-code, assumed inefficient, because 
Functions 1..n  are identic.

Function-1
(Body-of-Function-1)
Follow-action-1 with Function-1
Follow-action-2 with Function-1

Function-2
(Body-of-Function-2)
Follow-action-1 with Function-2
Follow-action-2 with Function-2
...
Function-n
(Body-of-Function-n)
Follow-action-1 with Function-n
Follow-action-2 with Function-n

More efficient seems, having

Body-of-Functions

extracted into a subroutine

so we could write something like

(dolist (element (1..n))
   SUBROUTINE element
   Follow-action-1 with element
   Follow-action-2 with element

Question is: exists a known tool for the extraction resp. refactoring needed?

Thanks


Andreas
