Hi all,
I've had PureBasic for a while and have done a few things with it but am far from adequate with it, let alone proficient. :) I'm working on an program to translate some downloaded tabular material from HTML to CSV format for integration into a database. This data is TV listing information ...

netmaestro,
You wouldn't believe how often I have to explain to people that I'm on the south side of WA and not the north ;) We were originally wanting to move to Portland but our real estate agent was like, "You guys might want to check out Vancouver, WA" and we expected it was across the river ...

I suppose I shouldn't get involved in this one. Nice demo. I wouldn't mind if PB had OOP but, if I really need it I can load up VisualStudio and use one of the languages there.

Hi all. New here...just bought and downloaded PB. I'm typically about on the Blitz3D forums but I'm a long-time user of VB and VC++. This just looked like a nicer language to deal with - and I wanted to play with the fast 2D support too.

Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself to the ...
