Re: Double-defining a variable

With globals,there is some use for this behaviour, in order to remind you inside a procedure that a variable has global scope. But in long procedures, even the Global definition (usually at the procedure's start ) is a daunting "solution". (Personally, I prefer a "g_"... prefix f...

Re: Check if a file exists somewhere in the path

@ Marc56us

He just might also be looking for .ddl-, .lib- and other files not executable on their own . ;)

Re: Check if a file exists somewhere in the path

Not too demanding, since the filename is already known. No need for the "ExamineDirectory" chore ;) EnableExplicit Define SoughtAfterFile$ = "Notepad.exe" Define EPath$ = GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") Define Flag = 0 Define i = 1 Define SPath$ = StringField( EPath$, i,...

Re: Debug [DebugLevel, ] <expression>

It wouldn't , but if you cannot or are unwilling or unable to read and understand more than a single line of text at a time, that's not my problem.

Re: Debug [DebugLevel, ] <expression>

Yes, Axolotl, I do know, but thanks anyway. I think the usefulness of debuglevel is dependant of what you do. It may well be that many fellow programmers never use it, but keep to simple "debug <expression>" lines. They wouldn't have to change a thing if my proposal really got implemented....

Debug [DebugLevel, ] <expression>

Could we have the debug statement like this: Debug [DebugLevel, ] <expression> instead of our traditional Debug <expression> [, DebugLevel] , please? That way, (especially when debug statements have long, complicated expressions to contend with ) * it would look more tidy * the debuglevel assignment...

Re: Enhanced Debug Window

...and a search functionality.
Yes, yes and yes!
... and, if it isn't too much trouble, with RegExp-Functionality.

Or else: optionally have debug output piped to notepad++ . That way, multiple debug output "windows" could be simulated.

Re: No autocomplete for macros in residents

Uhmmm..... it's there. I seemed to have the same problem. I have PB5.72 and PB5.71 installed in adjacent paths of the same directory tree - AND I am creating the .res file through a custom entry in my tools menu in both installations. On closer examination, I found that much to my surprise, lf I alt...

Re: [Module] PackEx - Module (all OS)

Well, thank you Thorsten.
The missing prefix was surely rather a "glitch" than a "bug".

I obviously somehow misunderstood this part.
"Add encrypted files to the archive or or decrypt files during unpacking"
Never mind, good work though.
Thanks for the quick reply

Re: [Module] PackEx - Module (all OS)

Hi, Thorsten. First of all:Thanks for your effort, basically it's what many need and have written about it many times Minor problem: Seems like the module prefix is missing in line 1673. Bigger problem: * Even with that prefix added, the ZIP file is being created with the two jpgs in unreadable form...

enable_Debug_GetLastError

enable_Debug_GetLastError Have debug execute GetLastError_() implicitly and, if its return is not 0, output an extra line showing the error code and a textual representation of the error constant name. disable_Debug_GetLastError disable implicit GetLastError_() execution/reporting. e.g. enable_Debu...
