Never mind, even a thousand clients doesn't consume that much memory.
Say the strings are a max of 30: ((4+30+30)*1000)/1024 = 62kB

Thanks!

Assuming you're writing all this in Purebasic, then I wouldn't worry about databases. If I've understood correctly, then you could use SQLite easily enough - providing the server application is accessing it as if it were a stand alone app. SQLite simply requires that you copy a single .dll file ...

Yes, but unless I'm mistaken, mIRC is not a compiler.

The only way you'll be able to implement something along these lines, is before compilation, e.g. with a macro.

**EDIT - too slow! :D

The numbers are actually ClientIDs of connecting clients and I want to store some information they pass on ...

XD Good one.

I think you should us arrays in this case.


Dim var(1000)
varentry = 987
var(varentry) = test1

;Here is to show you that you can change the variable
varentry = 987-853 ; which is equal to 134
var(varentry) = test2


I also think that variable variables are not possible to create

The numbers ...

No chance! :?

Once a program is compiled, all variable names lose their meaning and translate to locations within the computers memory (the heap, the stack etc.)

The closest you'll get is to use an array or a linked list or perhaps even allocate some memory etc.

Of course, you could probably ...

Heh, like the topic title.

So what I'm looking for is how to have variable variables:
As in: creating variables during the programme execution with variable names.

I realize this might be a little unclear..

I found the answer myself after more searching.
Thanks a bundle anyway.

mouse_event_(#MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0,0,0,0)

I would like to simulate a mouseclick, on the position where the mouse is at that moment.
I've searched the forums, but couldn't find a solution.

~fenyctis

Hmm.. yes indeed. Thanks a bundle. I think it's a thing that could or should be included in future versions of PB. I think it's used lots of times.

Thanks a bunch mate.

I've been searching the forums for a while now, but I can't find it... I just want to now how much items there are in an array. It's probably right under my nose, I know, rtfm and stuff.

Okay.

Got it working, thanks a bundle.

eid.l = WindowEvent()
If eid
If eid = #PB_Event_CLosewindow
quit = 1
EndIf
Else

If GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_LBUTTON)
leftmousepressed = 1
Else
If leftmousepressed = 1
TriggerMouseReleaseAndBounceAround
leftmousepressed = 0
EndIf
EndIf

EndIf

I seem to have got it to work now. Thanks a bundle. But now I've got a 50% usage of my program. Is this because of the GetAsyncKeyState? Is there a way to prevent this?

Err.. yes. Sounds like that's wrong. Should I make a thread?
