i dont think so

I tried:

while not eof(0)
...
wend

Just like AmiBlitz.

instead I had to use:

while eof(0)=0
...
wend

That looks stupid but works...

But Fred: please add it!

I hope the new version also contains "then" (if...then...) and "ElseIf".

Well, 'ElseIf' would be nice, but why 'Then'?

Code: Select all

If a=10 Then
  do something
EndIf

is the same as:

Code: Select all

If a=10 
  do something
EndIf

I think 'Then' is really not needed to understand the code...

Have a nice day...

You don't understand, Franco -- using Then means you can replace the above
three lines with one line: If a=10 Then do something. You don't need EndIf
when using Then. It stops simple code being spread over many lines, which
can sometimes be a hassle.

PB: yes, that`s what I wanted to say!

Why complicated when you can make it simple?
One line says it all: "If a=1 then b=1"

Franco: do you really think this is better:?

if a=1
b=1
endif


"Then" makes your code much more readable. And it`s a "Basic"-Keyword since 20 years and more).

I don't know... there doesn't seem to be much of a savings between

Code: Select all

If a=10 Then b=20

and

Code: Select all

If a=10:b=20:Endif

I wish more versions of BASIC would drop the 'THEN' statement.
Personal preference I guess

OK PB, I understand.
I didn't use a Basic dialect before that uses 'Then' in that way.
I know BCX-basic, there it goes:

Code: Select all

If a=10 Then
  do something
EndIf

And I know another Basic there it goes:

Code: Select all

Case a=10 : do something

(without a 'Select' command before and 'EndSelect' after!)

instead of:

Code: Select all

If a=10 : do something : EndIf

But I suppose this don't work with PureBasic...

This works. But with "then" it would be even more readable.
