wget has a lot of possible arguments. With `wget -o <outputfile> <URL>` you can download anything to a file name of your choice.


I have already achieved what I need to do, but I'm curious. Are you suggesting that wget can be used to download a file with a path longer than 300 characters ...

Thanks for that infratec.

You can also use aria2 - The ultra fast download utility
I use it for large files (windows iso) with the parallel fragment download

aria2c --log-level=notice --log="E:\Temp\Aria2c_Download.log" -x16 -s16 --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false -d"E:\temp" -o"page-005.jpg" "https ...

No, it needs the rest.

I just want to download a file at a time - the path is something like

Would it be possible to get an old version of Purebasic to compile for Windows XP and write a binary image to an SRAM PCMCIA card?

I will be writing a program that will allow the user to input details to quite a simple 'Form' and then send the results to 4 places.

Due to the 4 places not being within the WIFI of the building, I will most likely email a CSV to the 4 places.

I'm just looking to know, is there a safe and ...

Is there a most suitable way of storing multiple values related to one entry?

For example if I have a Matrix of 1 row by 3 columns, and I want to multiply that by a Matrix of 3 rows by 3 columns, I will want to access the values individually of each Matrix.

Initially I thought of storing the ...

Thanks, i'll be much bettwr off looking at an example for my first go.

Does anyone have an example of a model made from a similar list of vertices?

I haven't looked at 3D in Purebasic before, I am interested in plotting the Utah Teapot, and thought it should be easiest in 3D first.

I will want to work backwards then, and plot it with 2D Drawing tools to then plot it on old computers.

I really want to see how each of the vertices coordinates ...

This can be looked at in at least 2 ways which seem problematic:

1. The IDE allows 2 open Purebasic files to have control over the running compilation.

2. The other impication that number 1 has is that the user can not edit either of the 2 Purebasic files even though only one has been run.

I have recreated it in a simple way.

Save this program:

OpenWindow(0,0,0,100,100,"New")
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Select Event
EndSelect
Case #PB_Event_Menu
Select EventMenu()
EndSelect
EndSelect
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow Or quit=#True

Save it as New1.pb

Run that ...

I was running one instance of the IDE, just the 2 windows on it that I described.

Should it be considered a bug if I'm doing some testing on programs. I run a test program that does something, lets say it works out values of PI and draws them to screen (anything that can continue forever), something that does not end. Then I stop the program and amend it to Print out via Serial ...
