OK - Done!

I hope you copied it first - - -

Nice to hear that their is hope for the future.
Press on, Fred - - -

Thank you for your responses ^_^

There would be lots of high-value variables to process and wrestling with library bodges does not appeal to me. PureBasic's weakness is in the very area where I need it to be strong.

I imagine that the original motive for an all-low-precision-math language was to ...

Hi everyone :-)

A year ago I set out to write a novel calculator but could not get the precision I needed because the floating point values are only 32 bits and I need to use variables of at least 64bits, preferably 80bits. So I dropped PB.
Blitz has the same restriction.

The new IBasic Pro, on ...

Hi, Boys

Well there were two constructive responses:

Thank you, freedimension, for your 64bit lib

And thank you, blueznl, for answering the question as opposed to questioning my gender

nice to know someone likes my site (and my sight )

Hi

Can PureBasic work with 64bit floats or even 80bit ones?

And

Can PureBasic compile a DLL in Windows?

Thank you chaps and chapesses

I want to know if someone is interested on this.

I am intensely interested in the possibility of reading output from com objects like WSH parser output!

More strength to you, Friend

Thanks, Ricardo

I will give this a good squint.
I might learn something from the text if not from the ASM.

Hey, Jack ^ee^

Fifteen pages of theory and practice of C++!
I have not accustomed myself to C++, yet.
I can see it stalking me, and I know
I'll have to surrender to it eventually.
But I can stave it off a bit longer
with PureBasic for the desktop
and BlitzBasic for full screen
games ...

Hi, Pupil

I wrote it the way I wrote it to demonstrate the problem. Having the output terminate prematurely shows the problem and where it occours.

I NEED to store these charaters, individally, in the array, not leaving any blanks. Not just to print them. I need the array to be intact so that I ...

Hi Ricardo,

This whole thing points up the reason there should be a parser in PB already!
Does Linux have an equivalent to WSH?
I want my super duper calculator to be as universal as possible.

Gahhh, it SO annoying!

Oh, Fred - Help us, please!

Hi Paul, :)

I am pretending that the two math strings are unpredictable user input.
The reason I did it the way I did it was that the strings break into irregular sized chunks.
This means that the number of instances of s() cannot be known in advance.
For instance, "14.582" is one chunk. it is ...

Hi Pupil,
this makes your save routine fail...
This problem is not confined to saving.
Try windowing it in a string gadget.
I wrote the little demo to show what happens when I try to separate a string into characters for analysis.
Can you suggest a way of storing and manipulating strings that ...

Hi Ricardo

I have just been playing with your script thingy and it copes wonderfully with whatever I give it. :)

It would be worth taking the trouble to make the DLL wrapper if it were strictly for Windows.
I don't know how to do such a thing, though. :cry:

The application I am working on will ...

Hi y'all :D

I have come across a wierd problem in string disection.
I wrote this bit of code to illustrate it ...
Please notice that math_b has a pair of brackets.
See what this does to the output!
