This works here if compiled to unicode:


openConsole()

s.s = "Deutschland ÜBER Alles"
charLower_(@s)
printN(s)

s.s = "Deutschland ÜBER Alles"
charUpper_(@s)
printN(s)

while inkey() = ""
wend

closeConsole()
end



Oh, yeah, that worked! But a little explanation would be nice. What the hell ...

True, in unicode it doesn't lower the Ü but its worth mentioning you don't need unicode for those characters.

Oh, do I not need unicode? Could you plz gimme a quick example?

BTW, I thought that "Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles auf der Welt" was the *current* German anthem. I didn't know ...

Oh yes, I am compiling in unicode. It's something like this:


OpenConsole()
Print("Write anything here: ")
x.s = Input()

PrintN(LCase(x))

While Inkey()="": Wend: CloseConsole(): End


After running the program, if I enter a string that contains unicode and standard ASCII characters the program ...

I am trying to "LCase" the user input. But it fails when a unicode character is entered. Thye program simply outputs the entered string.

How can I fix this?

Given links still don't work... :(

I ain't kidding.

I don't understand that. I have tried it on two different computers and under IE and FireFox but I have seen only blank screens (not 404 errors)

Hmm...
Tonite I'll try to reach the related pages by using Linux.
If I still fail, perhaps I'll ...

What are you on about? see the big button on the right, it says:

"Click here to buy a copy from www.lulu.com"

That's very kind of you. I have severely myopic eyes yet I can see the "big button". I didn't say "there are not any button", I said that the link was broken. I click it but it takes me ...

I think many people here know the book "PureBASIC: A Beginner's Guide to Programming".

Do its author or publisher hanging out in this forum? I am writing these here because I can't find a correspondence in its homepage ( http://www.pb-beginners.co.uk ).

1) The "buy it" links seems broken.
2) And ...

A prototype is the same concept applied to procedures. You do something like:

Prototype.q action(number.l, float.f, byte.b)

and you've created a template for a procedure that takes in a long, a float and a byte and returns a quad.

Now you do:

MyProc.action = @SomeProc()

and you've created a ...

This is one of the reasons why the language is so clean and simple, the team aren't afraid to change the language if they find a better way of doing it.

To my humble knowledge, back compatibility issues with C made the C++ so ugly and hard to learn.

I strongly hope that the team will not change ...

Can you please "point" me a good tutor about prototypes?

I am trying to learn from PB's chm help file and "PB Survival Guide" but the subject seems so hard. I need extra support...

In Purebasic, a pointer is just a variable of type long which we usually use to store addresses.

That makes things clearer. C/C++ made my mind confused...

My thanks go to all PB fans...

I am trying to learn using dll functions. I have seen an example from the "PureBASIC Survival Guide" ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pure5.htm#3_winapi_and_dlls ) like this:

OpenLibrary(1,"MyMagical.dll")
*a_pointer = GetFunction(1,"blahblahblah")
CallFunctionFast(*a_pointer,first_variable ...

As a novice, I need your advices. In order to use CLIPS (or CLIPS.dll) together with PureBASIC, I am currently trying to learn how to use a dll from PB ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pure5.htm#3_winapi_and_dlls ). I started with CallFunction and will advance to prototypes. As far as I ...

Using PB and CLIPS in games? Hmm... Sounds exciting. But I don't know an example of it. My goal is to build an expert system which is consisted of CLIPS as the inference mechanism and PB for user interface. Of course PB itself can be used alone for such a system but a shell will make things easier ...

Is anybody here interested in artificial intelligence, especially expert systems?

I am planning to use an expert system shell, that is CLIPS ( http://www.ghg.net/clips/CLIPS.html ), with PureBASIC.

CLIPS has a dll, too ( http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/marktoml/clipstuf.htm ).

There are ...
