In case, for alternatives, search akelpad (win) or textmate (mac) on this forum…

I use TextMate as an IDE tool for "advanced editing/completion"; I ... check, because I can quickly return to PB and compile/debug there (PB IDE isn't so bad after all)
PS: If you have a Mac, also search "fuzzy completion"…

Quick "Fuzzy Help" hack ;)

NEVER FORGET you can also search https://www.purebasic.com/documentation/PureBasic.pdf (and often quickly get even better help/infos, if you have a good PDF reader like Skim)

Notes:
Dear Fred…
IDE tools seem to have "focus problems" when they use a parameter (I tried some ...

... Don't forget to "install" the PB IDE tool, and to see how to setup the fuzzy autocomplete (I have the support text file in "~/bin"; that's a "bin" folder in my home folder)… I also made "two" fuzzy autocomplete for the PB IDE (one is to "search" all open documents…)

Recording? (I'm kidding; I understand you!)

I made a fuzzy autocomplete for Mac (you know how much I suffer because you don't seem to have a Mac!) and I didn't waste too much time with regexps (search/filter speed is very good, so I don't need to "check for perfect syntax" to ...

Is it me, or is the (demo) designer itself not DPI aware? Things are fuzzy on my 125% 4K screen (Windows 10).
Coding to several DPIs is ever a pain :|

The old way would be to use a tool like texturepacker to create some kind of texture atlas or use a multi resolution ico . The modern and more ...

... load it once, add to and remove on the fly.
An alternative would be a Fuzzy Search rather than an exact match, that could be better from the onset, though until someones written one a Trie will be an improvement.
I'm still trying to work out what the best strategy is to handle structures and ...

... the variable type of the variable.

As long as PureBasic does not use a fuzzy search for auto-completion, the variable type is better appended to the variable name as a suffix in my opinion.

Hi, thanks for the ideas so far.

Fuzzy search as in simple search terms, not complex regex, just so that titles can be filtered easily.

The source windows is an explorer gadget which the user would browse to a folder with the source files in, but say he wants to add just games by codemasters he ...

em, by "fuzzy search" do you actually mean complex search patterns (like regular expressions etc)? because the "search for ocean in the title" example you gave indicates it could be as simple as having the user enter a search word, and then simply enumerating through the list using FindString(nextword ...

A good way to perform a fuzzy search is to use the algo provided by Levenshtein.

In combination with a prefilled list ...

That works too. I didn't do that in my example because
(a) I wanted to show a RegEx match in the loop
(b) on Linux/Mac, I think ExamineDirectory matches case-sensitive, which I assume em_uk does not want(?)

Why not: But this has nothing todo with Fuzzy

A basic start...

Path.s = GetTemporaryDirectory() + "Fuzzy/"
CreateDirectory(Path)

RandomSeed(0)
For i = 1 To 100
File.s = Str(Random(1000)) + " " + Str(Random(1000)) + ".dat"
File = ReplaceString(File, "9", " ocean ")
If CreateFile(0, Path + File)
CloseFile(0)
EndIf
Next i

... is to be able to filter my source files.

To do this I'd like to use a fuzzy search, so for example I have a folder with 10,000 titles inside. I want to find all the "ocean" games, I type Ocean in to my filter box and it will filter the list to show any titles with Ocean in the title.
