To the guys who write these ransomware platforms, who are probably even on this forum somewhere: Could you not use languages like Go instead?

Now Purebasic programs will be flagged by Antivirus ...

When I'm in the middle of a large list, is SelectElement() smart in the sense that it will go relative from the current element's Listindex back and forth through the list to reach the desired element? Or does it always go through the list from the start?

Nevermind, I've updated from PB 5.61 to PB 5.62 and miraculously the memory leak seems to be gone. My day is saved!

Okay, folks, I might have stumbled over the worst "Heisenbug" ever. I'm drawing text with graphics acceleration to ScreenOutput() in a screen obtained OpenWindowedScreen().

- it works fine if it's not in a DLL
- if it's in a DLL and loaded from that DLL, then any call to DrawText() in my Linux 64 ...

For now I have resorted to using KeyboardReleased in combination with KeyboardInkey character-like keys but it means that there can be no key repeat after a key repeat interval, something which almost every normal OS text handling offers. :|

But I'm also worried about the codes themselves. What do ...

Sorry to bump my own thread, but even just knowing that it's not possible would be very useful to me. In my tests, TAB doesn't work at all, and no international characters when the keyboard is set to something else than QWERTY. Normal characters work with the international setting, e.g. German ...

Hi! :D

I need to know whether it's possible to detect all keys that are pressed or released in a screen opened by OpenWindowedScreen, no matter what keyboard layout. Basically I need the same functionality as in a CanvasGadget with keyboard input enabled. This Gadget returns codes like 65362 for ...

Oh man, am I stupid! I've looked at it half a dozen times and didn't see that!

Thanks a lot!!!

I must have potatoes on my eyes as they say in some countries, because I cannot find the error in the code below. When I run this on my 64bit machine with Unicode enabled, PB 5.41LTS on Linux Mint 17.2, I get

Hello world!

But the numbers should be 42 and 6724, of course ...

Thanks folks, I've already found a workaround, and will also take a look at citystates method. :D

EncodeImage does not work for me because I don't know the encoding in advance. :?
Can you explain that you don't know the encoding in advance ?
Once an image has been loaded, there is no encoding ...

I need to get a memory buffer directly from an image, without saving the image to disk in between (would be too slow). Basically, the opposite of CatchImage. EncodeImage does not work for me because I don't know the encoding in advance.

Is there a way to do this for any image encoding on any ...

If the list of 10,000 words is fixed in advance, you could create what's called a perfect hash function. This has no collisions at all. Then it all boils down to finding the string search algorithm that is optimal for 1kb strings.

You might be correct, but I didn't any limits and there are plenty of folders on this disk. :)

Yes, the stack size is fairly large on most systems nowadays. It should be alright as long as you're aware of the limitation. Personally, I avoid recursion in languages with stack limit just to remain ...

This may help...

Your directory traversal may be slightly faster but it will run out of stack space when there are many nested subdirectories.

Thanks a lot, folks! I don't know where I got the idea from that there is an API for this on every platform, by now I believe that if there is a cached file count it is probably very filesystem-dependent and not easily accessible.

Here is what I'm using now (partly based on code by someone else ...
