Do you consider the WIN API a third party library? And hey, is anybody here who really understands that API ?

Maybe this snippet fits your needs. I once wrote it to edit predefined strings. Through the years it grew and grew, so meanwhile, for the purpose you requested, it's got some overhead, but it can still simply edit an existing string. Just ignore the several modes and the callback option if you don't...

In the file "tool.htm" of the link you posted you can find an explaination of the data format. So here, quick and dirty, without having a closer look at the C programs (and without guarantee), a first attempt of a conversion program: Dim As String g Dim As Integer gi Dim As String _bobS = ...

Hello Flyzone. The conversion shouldn't be rocket science, as soon as I know the destination format. From a first glance I suppose the data of the file has to be converted to IBM's punched card format, but that's only a guess. So could you post a link to (at least) one of the C translation programs ...

Rather due to rounding errors caused by the "float"-type variables.

Code: Select all

In this case I would recommend to use "OPEN PIPE" like speedfixer suggested.

Redirecting the console's output is quite simple: As an example, first compile this by the name of "TestShell" : Print "Hello World" Then, as the calling program, compile and run this in the same directory: Print "Shell response: "; Shell "TestShell.exe 2>&1&qu...

Very strange. My old-fashioned analogue scale has exactly the same issue. Maybe not only the global average temperature is rising, but also the gravity...

Due to overload? *grin*

Jumping to an empty line seems inelegant, if not illogical. Then just use the NOP (=No Operation) statement: Dim bytvar As Byte Dim bstatus As Byte Do Input "Enter a byte value (0 to quit): ", bytvar If bytvar = 0 Then Exit Do End If ' If bytvar = 1, then Status = 1, else Status = 0 ASM c...

On the other hand: The capability of accessing USB by FB -analogue to GetMouse or GetJoystick would be a nice feature.

Works also on XP.

Same behaviour on WinXP if "Quick Edit" is on (switched off by default here). Very funny!

I can't reproduce that. Performing any mouse action, nothing happens (just as it ought to be). What OS are you using and what version of FB?
