PureBasic Forums - English

Well Piero,

Even if I were interested, I won't be using Textmate. I'm strictly a Windows person; not necessarily because it's better.
As for Python, Perl, Ruby (on rails or not) I have no interest in them, on account of their dependence on indentation. Whilst indentation may be good programming ...

Quin,

Many thanks for your encouragement.
Whether or not I will undertake the project, depends on the answers to my questions. I would like my editor to be MDI.
As a serial / procedural programmer, I find the syntax of PB suits the way I think. Also, the IDE works well with JAWS and, likewise ...

Please excuse my slackness, in not having reported the solution to this problem; it was too embarrassing.

Now, when I revisit and attempt to compile / run the sources again, nothing happens. This isn't happening with all my programs. Saving the code with different names makes no difference.

I've checked the sources with ...

nsstudios, Many thanks for the direct link to the Toke package. Based on advice from Quin, that talking to JAWS would otherwise be difficult with PureBASIC, I will be happy to work with Toke.

As I am far from an advanced programmer, even this will be quite a challenge for me.

Again, Many Thanks to ...

Hello infratec and Quin,

Thank you for your very prompt responses.

infratec, Unfortunately, I got a connection refused message, when attempting to download the zip you recommended.

Quin, Toke sounds very promising! I went to Github, but received the message "message":"Artifact not found or access ...

Hello,

As suggested by my username, I am a person who is blind. Therefore, I would like to be able to programmatically write messages to be spoken and call functions in my JAWS For Windows screen reading software ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAWS_(screen_reader) ).

Thus far, my coding efforts ...
