PureBasic Forums - English

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't PureBasic use copy-on-write for strings passed to procedures? I did a quick-and-dirty test for creating two strings of different length and passing them to a procedure (which does nothing but return the length of the string). Even though string #1 was only ...

I wanted my code to balance speed against ease of use, and I wanted it to be easy to understand. Theoretically I could have fiddled with pointers more to eke out more speed, but I wanted something I could just throw strings into.

I'd be using this for situations when the length of strings is ...

I see someone else has posted his solution for speeding up string concatenation, but I cobbled together this code today, and I thought I should share it. My system uses one structure definition and two procedures, so it should be simple to use. (It also uses Space() instead of AllocateMemory(), so ...

This is an ancient thread :mrgreen: , but in case anyone's searching how to use the odd punctuation keys with AddKeyboardShortcut in Linux, here is some code that works on both my Windows machine and my Linux laptop:

My question is: If I want to write another module in the same program that also accesses some kind of ZIP file, is it safe for that other ...
