@Caronte3D Thanks, but this isn't necessary.

@Nic
Thanks again, the url encoding was all that was needed, I was blind, I called it with arg2 and not url as the argument for RunProgram()^^

Problem solved, it now works as expected

Thanks Nic.

The encoded url looks like this:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/56%C2%B033'29.0N%2038%C2%B08'49.3E

When RunProgram() is called it will still fail to supply it to the browser correctly, I still get two tabs:
Address bar part of the first one: xn--5633'29-bla.0n
Of the second one ...

Hi,

Edit: Solved, I was just a bit blind (apart from the necessary tip by Nic that the url part should be encoded) :)

I want to call my .exe with two arguments:
01. The full path to an executable (a browser)
02. GPS coordinates like: 56°33'29,0N 38°8'49,3E

These coordinates depend on the used ...

Hi!

I'd like to set a file / folder dates (modified / created / accessed) to a specific time that is not shifted by the bias of daylightsavingtime...

E.g. if I use this function from the german forum: https://www.purebasic.fr/german/viewtopic.php?p=71624#p71624

with:

#Day = 15
#Month = 3
#Year ...

Yeah, it seems that's the way how it works.

If PB would internally use a fast concatenation method that procedure wouldn't fall back in execution time that much...

Thanks for correcting it. It now works as expected

Btw. this is much easier and more elegant

Absolutely! But don't dare to try that one on larger files...

E.g. a 10 MB test file

In memory variant: 86ms
"easier and more elegant": 4secs, 463ms

Compiled via the beta 5 C backend (x64)

Thanks to both of you!

Are you sure that

If bom = #PB_Unicode
content = PeekS(*buffer + offset, (length - offset) / 2, #PB_Unicode)
Else
content = PeekS(*buffer + offset, (length - offset), #PB_UTF8|#PB_ByteLength)
EndIf

is correct?

For an UTF-16 LE BOM file with this content ...

Hi,

this procedure works fine (and fast even for larger files) but only for UTF-8.

Is there a way to change it so that it can read both encodings (UTF-8 with or without BOM AND UTF-16 LE with BOM)?

Is this a bug or should it work this way for DeleteTree()?

I create a key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\abc"
and add an empty string value to it, named "huhu"

Registry::DeleteTree(#HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\abc")
will delete the string value but it won't delete the "abc" (sub-) key...

It's so easy? Wow...

Thank you mk-soft!

Hello,

I'm currently working on a console app that should provide some progress output.
It's working with (large) folder structures but what I don't want it to spam the whole console line by line for each folder processed.

Is it possible to just use output a progress report to the first line (of ...

GetCommandLine_ is not a PB command, but a Windows API command

But what does that have to do with command line parameters? You have just posted the content of a bat file...

Yeah, that makes sense. I've added the change to my last post.

Thanks again!

I wanted to ask why sFile can be used directly without storing it in a variable of type VARIANT but after reading
