PureBasic Forums - English

You can make a macro to implement zx80's code to unify individual items. It also helps so you don't have to remember to update all places at once... I can't send a sample, but I'm sure you can find one with a search.

I ran a test on it when the 64 bit first came out, I think, and was very surprised at the small performance boost. It was only in the 10-20 percent range; barely noticeable. In that particular test, IIRC, the increased memory hit was similar.

I know this is very vague, but just to say... your ...

This is very generous of you. I tried the link and it said You do not have access. Is there something I am missing? Perhaps coffee fee now?

I did like Doom a lot, but i was pretty much done with games by then. After cars & girls, games were pretty minimal.

Where is the latest gosci lib/module?
I found a module from 2019.


That module is probably the latest. I have not been using it lately, so I have not updated it myself. With srod being inactive since 2020, he has not been updating it. However, in 2017, he posted:
current version of GoScintilla ...

Does GoScintilla support syntax highlighting?

gosci is a full featured customizable lexer that supports almost everything.

Hello:
I'm searching for auto-indent feature for Scintilla, with no luck.
did someone developed that and like to share?

Thanks in advance


Look for GoScintilla on the forum. It's a full featured library that takes care of almost all of the regularly used features of an IDE, including this. At ...

To make money, it is more important to be able to meet a need (i.e. come up with a good idea) than it is to be a great coder. Also, being resonably good at marketing is more important.

Of course, I am not talking about leaving it bug ridden or not working. I am talking about a decent coder who can ...

We can do that in the PureBasic IDE, using [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[↑] and [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[↓] (tested with PB 6.04 LTS on Windows).
Amazing.. :shock:
i don't know this function since several decade i use the IDE :oops:
Thanks for the TIP :wink:


Check out the scintilla documentation (on their site ...

How about a pop-up for license selection when the Code button is pressed in an editor?

I'm in favor of "every code posted after this date xx/xx/2024 is xx license unless otherwise stated."
That simplifies a lot of things. You can update the "conditions of use" that everybody is required to accept ...

"length" in bytes, but UTF-8 can be multi byte? (Unless it's all ascii) That could give you an overflow.

Try checking the string length with this

Tranquil gave some good advice. Start small to learn how to code and how to PB. Then add complexity. For instance, just start with guessing a number from 1-10. Then let them guess until they get it, and count the number of guesses it takes. Then add the feature of telling the guesser if he is high ...

I get it, no worries and sorry for the inconvenience, i don't want to spam your thread. I don't understand in a first reading why you use (Just get it, to get around the PB syntax):
text.s = "0;1x;2xx;'Text with separator (;)';4xxxx;5xxxxx;'Text with linefeed " + #LF$ + "and separator (;)';End ...

My mind is a bit blown by how much code has to be written in PureBasic to do this


That is because those languages have CSV support in their respective standard libraries where PureBasic has not.
I agree... CSV support would be nice.

Keep in mind that there are many libraries native to pb that ...

(I think) that method with a string is used because a string is already a pointer, and when you call a proc with a string argument, by default it copies the string prior to sending. That is a workaround specific to strings to send the string address.
