Yes that worked, thanks.

This simple code fails when compiled to a standalone exe file. When I run the exe I get a bell sound when I try to enter a number. The program works fine when I run/compile. PB 5.3 and windows 10.

OpenConsole()
EnableGraphicalConsole(1)
ConsoleColor(15,1)
ClearConsole()

I have noticed this too with PB 5.73 and Windows 10. With the task manager running I observed high use of antimalware service executable when loading PB. It ends when PB shows welcome on board. Time varies quite a bit. Hopefully as others have posted this will go away.

Just wanted to confirm for Deletefile(Filename$) that filename$ must be the full path name and not just the file name obtained from Nextdirectoryentry().

I am going thruough a directory and deleting files based on time of day they were created by a trail cam.

You may need to use binding (see pb help file)
Here is a demo program I wrote that does this along x axis

Hmm, I recall learning this trick in a Fortran class I took in 1967.

I noted that the help file for arraysize says Arraysize returns the array dimension and not the array size.

I assume there are valid reasons for step be a constant. Interesting to me is that stop value can be changed inside the for loop, I am not sure why one would want to do this. Here is code to show this:

first=1
last=10
For i=first To last
Debug i
Next
For i=first To last
last=last-1
Debug i
Next ...

If you would prefer to use proportional fonts, which look better, then you need to use different space size. Unicode offers different space sizes starting with characters 2000 (hex). Note size of normal space is 7, whereas for digits it is 13. So for example with Ariel fonts the appropriate space ...

Variable viewer. I can find the address of a variable by putting the statement debug Str(@variable) in the program. It would be nice to have a way to do this directly in the debugger.

When I use the debugger is there someway to show the location of a variable? In the help it states if there is an arrow beside to variable color code, then you can click on the variable is see its location. I don't seem to be able to get this to happen? Any ideas? Thanks

Use Rset() to right justify column entries with Chr($2007) for spacing. The code would be something like this.

Rset(string$,length,chr($2007))

Look up spacing of unicode character to see why this works.

Unicode character 2007 is known a figure space. It is a space character that is as wide as ...

Could you make the data section pairs of strings such as "1.0","abc",....etc. Then use Val() to convert first string of each pair to a number.

Try using keyboardreleased() instead of keyboardpushed().

I have used get and set environmentalvariable commands to pass strings. From PB help file for info:

SetEnvironmentVariable(Name$, Value$)
Description

Creates an environment variable in the environment block of this program with given name and value. If a variable with this name already existed ...
