I would like that confirmed from the mods here. jj may be suspend which he may have interpreted as (permanent) ban.

Without any of the moderator's confirmation?

QuickBASIC also used -1 to define TRUE and I've seen programmers using it numerically in algorithms in an attempt to shorten their code. Personally, I think it's a bad habit.

It might be worth adding a license to your code if you post it. Or just share some snippets as example for others to pick up.

I agree.

Thanks a lot! It works.

There are compilers out there that try to distinguish between hints, warnings and critical warnings. But it's never perfect.

Recompile the Lazarus IDE and count the warnings.

There's no clue without knowing the content of wValue, wMarker.or the file.

Tip:

You can write the byte directly, so instead of: you can do:

I think operator+ and his other account have been banned today.

Unfortunately, FreeBASIC is a bit inconsistent here. The # to mark a file handle is sometimes optional as with the Open and Close statement, but it is not with the Get and Put statement, or the Line Input statement. Worse, EOF does not accept the #.

Use #FF (it's a file handle after all).

EDIT, paul doe just beat me there.

- using a goto out of a nested IF is faster or nested loops for that matter (preferably using the same syntax). I added the jump statement to Sharp BASIC today, but to minimize the possibility of spaghetti code the statement is only allowed inside subroutines and functions, which from assembly poin...

It's a workaround, but probably the cleanest and best multi-platform solution.
