Time and date commands (to retrieve day, month, year, hour, minute, second).
More string commands (replace, reverse, format?).
A version of RunProgram that DOES stop execution till the other app ends.

Hello PB,
yes you have right, more string commands would be useful.
I just started to write some extention like:
Translate (Replace) -> Translate(String$,StringToSearch$,NewString$)
Delete -> Delete(String$,StartPosition,Lenght)
Insert -> Insert(String$,InsertString$,StartPosition)
SubString -> SubString(String$,Separator$,SubStringPosition)
CountWords -> CountWords(String$,Separator$)

So if you like to use it, I can mail the pb source to the forum.
These commands are not 100% tested but they seems to work.
I programed it with the demo version (not a registred user yet).

Franco

Hi Franco,

I just discovered that Mr Skunk has some advanced string handling at his web site in the form of User Libraries, so check them out:
