You were right regarding memory blocks, it works flawlessly, seems I were drunk when I tested it (as usual)

I have the same problem!

@QuimV. If you run the qdMin test editor as per the instructions which come with the download package; you can load up any of the test scripts that sit in the minScript demos folder and start to have a good look at the script language etc.
You can also paste HexOR's code into the script-panel of qdMin and compile it and then test it via the execution-panel (just enter Test()).

@srod and @Hexor
Tank you so much.

No problem.

I have now added static local variables for the next test version.

Great!
VBscript does not have this functionality!

Version 1.0.7 uploaded.

Comes with static variables, EnableExplicit/DisableExplicit compiler directives, file functions, a few more string functions and some bug fixes.

This has the potential to have introduced more bugs.

The manual is progressing nicely - if slowly!

See the first post for the download link.

Great!
Question: Adding the new "static" type, does the scope of the variables change something?
Thanks

Not sure what you mean because there is, prior to using DIM or STATIC, no scope to change.

STATIC can only be used inside a function or method and creates a persistent local variable. Module and script variables are already persistent and so STATIC does not apply to these variables.

Under the hood, STATIC simply creates a module variable whose internal name/ID is suitably 'mangled' and only accessible through the function/method in which it was created. Because of the naming convention used there can be no name clashes (bugs aside!)

Static variables remain persistent regardless of how many times you perform separate executions and remain so initialised until either the parent module is updated or the underlying code object is completely reset.

@srod, your explanation is crystal clear.
Thanks.

@srod:

When I run qdMin.pb I get the error "minScript failed to initialize correctly. Closing qdMin".
I run it in windows 7 32 bits and windows 10 32 bits.

Removed.

Okay, I suspect a problem with InitScintilla(). Have you renamed the x86 "scintilla.dll" file by any chance? Perhaps the x86 Purebasic\Compilers directory is not in your system path for some reason?

Try this. Delete the "Scintilla.dll" file from the qdMin folder (it is a 64-bit version).
Copy the 32-bit version of "scintilla.dll" from the x86 \Purebasic\Compilers folder. Copy it into the qdMin folder. Make sure it is named "scintilla.dll".

Now try running qdMin.

Confirmed! It is the scintilla dll.
It works perfect now!

Right. I will include copies of both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Scintilla and some suitable conditional compilation with the next versions.

Hello MASTER,

A new time, i test your jewel, and like the other time, that works !!! (it's already a miracle i can run it )

But i'm ashamed .....
The first time.... i have not really all understand (like usually you say to me, it's normal walk ), and i say to me : "The second time, it will probably be better" and today ...i have always not better understand than the first time
Your software is too strong for the little brain of your servant

1/ So ok, i load one of your example "File1.txt" Because i always like all the works with files, since i'm young when i create my first file on TO7
2/ I click on the compile button and i have the message all is good "Compilation successfull"
3/ Always ok, i paste the function in the execution panel, and all the text appears in the "outputDebug panel"

And now ?? what i must do ??

Create the EXE of your code and run it in the windows shell console with a script txt, with inside the Script.txt Or create the EXE of your code and run it in console with a direct shell line Or perhaps... found a bridge and jump, but obviously without elastic, for freed you one time for other of me ?

Sometime, i'm tired to always be the one who don't understand....even after ten years at talking with numerous masters of programming .....



I do not get used to it

Kwai chang caine, don't feel bad. I don't understand most of the coding you do so I am obviously far beneath you but I never worry about that.

I never understand srod either, his code is a million miles above me but with help, I always manage to get something done. Patience is the key word here and don't feel sorry for yourself, it doesn't help.
