PureBasic Forums - English

I executed those three lines, with no change. I am not sure what they did, as there is no reference to Pure Basic in the commands, nor are these commands in the install procedure, that I could find.

In any event, the problem that I am having is: when I click on a title in the help system, nothing ...

I see there were about 185 views, and one reply to download the file and review it externally, which I did, and thank you. But, . . . this issue is not resolved, and I assumed (my faux pas) that this problem would be somewhat universal. Do the gurus watch this forum? Am I not presenting enough data ...

Just installed v5.60 under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I entered the 2 export lines in .bashrc. When I click on help, I get the window with all the selections, but when I: click, double click, or press enter, nothing happens.

I'm a little lost. ucase converts lower case to upper case. I want to compare strings. The docs say that the NOT function does not work with strings.

John

Thank you. I passed on that while searching because it asked for the location where the searching string would appear in the searched string, and I felt that was too much to ask of a user. Thanks to your direction (the mountain can be climbed), I notices the word optional! It also appears that ...

I guess I have been too spoiled by Foxpro 2.6/DOS.

I have not found a logical operator (true/false) regarding a substring search. I use this all the time. If a user is looking for for a name, but does not know how to spell it, I tell them just key in the part of the name that you know how to spell ...

I guess I have been too spoiled in Foxpro 2.6/DOS. I use the not operator in string comparison all the time, e.g.:

while not choice$ $ "ABCDEFQ"
input routing
wend
(use the input data)

This seems to be so basic for a language, that I spent a lot of time searching for the answer, in case ...

For several hours, my Ubuntu 14.04 box has been running slow. I ran "task manager" to try to find the mem hog, etc. I found several copies of cipher running, taking 3.5-4 MB each, flashing on/off etc. in the task manager. I was looking a different PB files this morning, but that was hours ago. Why ...

Thank you!

Has Pure Basic made a chart that will allow me to know which features might not work, or work completely by OS? I understand that some don't work on Linux.

I am reading the help to get started in PB. I have the most current version. When reading about the console and using enable graphics, there was a mention about this only works in Windows. I have seen other references to Windows in the help system. I thought everything worked in all supported O/Ss ...

Thanks, I'll put my my design thinking in that direction.

I remember seeing the two items you mentioned, but I did not understand that it has nothing to do with how the text is displayed. Does this mean that I cannot write console programs displaying the text in the graphics mode (fonts, etc.)? I am not a gamer, this would be business/database stuff.

one of the example source files shows using openconsole() and enablegraphicstext() (not sure of the exact name, as my PB is running on a windows laptop at home). Haven't figured out how to install it on Ubuntu yet. guess that's part of why Linux is not as popular.

In any event, the ...
