You also can use other command line options to define specific locations for certain files/paths:

If HTTP pages need a login and token handling for authentication, you have to do this in your application:

After login you have to parse the response to save the cookies and also the token (which is probably passed inside a cookie).
With the next request you have to pass the cookies (containing ...

That is one way.

You could also iterate through the list in one thread and pass the items to several threads to work on the items in parallel running threads.

Why not use MapSize() and a regular loop without ForEach..Next?
How should this work?
It is not possible to use item index: mSize = MapSize(theMap())
For itemIndex = 1 To mSize
*item = ????
Next itemIndex

It is only possible to use ForEach or While (with ResetMap and NextMapElement) to iterate ...

Strange is this that I would not expect from the compiler/IDE/developing system to 'corrupt' data - what gets in should not be changed internally.
A 1-byte ASCII character set contains always 256 characters with the byte values 0 to 255!
Which characters these 255 byte values will represent ...

Another test:
* Create a Unicode table of characters from hex 0020 to 01FF
* Convert to ASCII with PB functions
* Output list of Unicode/Ascii values and display characters
* compare string (* --> strings differ // = --> strings are identical)

Consider the following:
* ASCII characters should be ...

If PureBasic internally converts ASCII to UNICODE the following mapping occurs (according to my short test):
ASCII 20 >> UNICODE 0020 >> Character:
ASCII 21 >> UNICODE 0021 >> Character: !
ASCII 22 >> UNICODE 0022 >> Character: "
ASCII 23 >> UNICODE 0023 >> Character: #
ASCII 24 >> UNICODE 0024 ...

Consider that literal strings in Purebasic are always handled as 2-byte UNICODE:
If CreateFile (21 , "testfile.txt", #PB_Ascii)
WriteStringN (21, " 852 1250 english")
WriteStringN (21, "¬ć¦źç§ ČŠŽčšž CSZcsz")
EndIf
CloseFile (21)
That means the literal strings in this code are handled as UNICODE ...

On windows you could create a batch file "start_purebasic.cmd": @echo off
setlocal
set TEMP=Path\To\New\PB_TEMP_DIRECTORY
set TMP=%TEMP%
start "Call PureBasic IDE" /B "Path\To\PureBasic\PureBasic.exe"
endlocal
goto :EOF
This way you change the environment variables for temporary directory.

Did you checked the project settings?

My problem is, why sees File3 #TEST4, but File4 can't see #TEST3. Both are in a global scope


I tested this case again with and without a project.
And on my system inside File4 the Editor displays #TEST3 in autocomplete list!

Are you using a PB project?
In the project settings, you can set an ...

Additonally try to check the EventType() ...

It works as expected with 5.73 x64 on Windows 10!
Tested with and without project!

BUT:
PureBasic scans each file independently.
That means, that #Test3 and #Test4 are part of the global scope from the point of view of the autocomplete function.
==> Inside Module of File2 the editor does not see ...
