Re: Good PAID Software -- Your Favorites

I see the name "Everything" come by, but I am not sure it also looks inside of files. If I want to find some PB-Code that I wrote in the past and I know that I had used the "IsInfinity"-function and a DateGadget, I can find it in seconds in gigabytes of files.

So the FileLocatorPro application ...

Re: Good PAID Software -- Your Favorites

If you're looking for great paid software, I highly recommend FileLocator Pro by Mythicsoft. It's a powerful tool that can index all sorts of files, including PureBasic files, making it incredibly versatile. I use it to search through a file structure with over 500,000 files, and it almost always ...

Re: App to list down all files and folders of drives?

I am extremely happy with FileLocator Pro from mythicsoft. I guess you can index all files on a removable harddisk as long as you do not set the index to run automatically.

I also use it to find applications or code that I have written before. As it has ...

Re: Tesseract question or OCR recognizion

I created a tool to put a text-layer over PDFs from our scanner. This does the following:

1. Search for PDF's in a folder (and subfolders)
2. Check if it has a text-layer already using pdftotext
3. if not, create a multipage tiff-file of the PDF using gswin32c.exe
4. Create a text-only PDF-file ...

Re: PureBasic 6.04 beta 1 is out !

My personal opinion is that a programmer or consultant that actively want to support a Windows-version (XP) that is not officially supported by Microsoft anymore needs to start the discussion with his customer instead of the developer of his programming-environment, especially when the 'old ...

Re: very big HDD problem, windows guru needed ...

Depending on how important your data is, I would always recommend a solution that has the following properties:

- Data on more than one disk; When one disk fails (and it will at one point) your data should be safe on the other disk.
- Data on more than one location; When you want to take into ...

Re: Which directory should I choose to store data files created in my application?

Usually my apps are 'portable' (meaning they need NO installation but can be copied easily). Locations of folders are usually stored in preference-files (.ini) in the folder of the executable. When there is 'general' data, I use GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())+[subfolder] to define a subfolder of the ...

Re: ChatGPT responses to actual code

I agree with @BarryG. Even when considering that ChatGPT is nothing more than a lingual model, it still is very good able to translate questions that are not entered into the system on a structured way into a well-generated response.

I must admit that I am also quite impressed by the possibilities of ChatGPT. And no, it is not flawless in the code it generates. It can help by pointing one in the good direction.

I was looking for purebasic code to communicate to sharepoint, and the feedback gave me enough to work with.

Hi there Tim,

Welcome to PureBasic :) I am using it for a while and i LOVE it. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Is there any reason you would want the server-side ...
