Hi Demivec. Thanks for your suggestions.
In the end I decided to use the very simple regular expression !!! to match the !!! text
It seems to work quite well.

I'm trying to use the IDE Editor Preferences for issues, such as "TODO" and "FIXME" for a new issue "!!!". I have tried various regular expressions to match !!! such as \b!!!\b.* and \b\!\!\!\b.* and \b\x21\x21\x21\b.* but none of them work. What will work? P.S. In the ...

Thank you Rashad for your very helpful answer, which works.

I wish to take the image from a canvas gadget, crop it, save it as a separate image and eventually print it. My code [within a much longer program] is something like this: #canvas = 1 StartDrawing(PrinterOutput()) imageID = GetGadgetAttribute(#canvas, #PB_Canvas_Image) ; #canvas is the gadget number...

Thanks for all your help.

The solution I have adopted was mentioned by wilbert who advised me to send the .exe file via http://www.WeTransfer.com .

Thank you for your suggestions, but the problem is still unresolved. Some details: My brother's email browser is Live Mail within Internet Explorer 10 with Avast anti-virus (I'm using Kaspersky anti-virus on my PC). I understand he is not using Endpoint Protection. I successfully zipped my .exe file...

In my opinion Debug 1.4+1.4 resulting in 2.7999999999999998 rather than 2.8 is not a problem, as a properly-coded program will always specify the number of decimal places to be given in the output so that it looks neat in the GUI (or other) display. So, instead of coding 1.4+1.4, the final version o...

How do I display the values of shared variables in the Variable Viewer window whilst debugging? They are not shown by default.

[Shared variables are those declared by the keyword 'Defined' in the Main scope AND declared by the keyword 'Shared' in selected procedures]

Thank you User_Russian for your working code.

However, I have a query:
Why does result in a different text size from even though the default text height is 20 as set by ?

Ever since I started using PureBasic (June 2003) I have been using !!! (three consecutive exclamation marks) within comments to flag issues requiring my attention. In File -> Preferences -> Editor -> Issues I have tried to create a new issue marker to reflect this, but regular expressions of \b!!!\b...

Thank you Luis for referring me to Idle's macros. I will use them for the time being.

Gosub within Procedures was implemented in an early 5.20 beta release, but then removed because it was buggy.
Will it be reinstated for 5.20 final release?

I need this feature to convert some legacy code from Amstrad CPC Locomotive Basic to PureBasic.
