I power-searched the whole C:\Program Files\PureBasic folder and cannot find a single reference to the word "Label".
Obviously, this is the wrong word. What is the right word?

The word label is in the reference manual at both places you would expect: Gosub and Goto (Goto is in the "Other" section).

There is no keyword or command called "Label" though. To write a label in your code you simply write some text and put a colon after it:

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()
Goto hereismylabel
PrintN("Never see me")
hereismylabel:
PrintN("Press return to exit")
Input()
CloseConsole()
End

Hi !
A label is a kind of tag which shows you a certain line in your sourcecode where you can jump to.
Look at the following sourcecode and you will understand how to use it. The labels are "label1:" and "smoke:". The ":" identifies it as label.
Please note: In modern und good programming (languages) you really donÂ´t need it (usually).

MFG

Code: Select all

OpenConsole()  PrintN("Test 1")
  Goto label1:
  PrintN("Test 2")
label1:
  PrintN("Test 3")
  Goto smoke:
  PrintN("Test 4")
smoke:
  PrintN("Test 5")
  Delay(5000)
End

Doh, tinman was 4 minutes faster ...

Thank you for that.

I should have said "LabelGadget" for displaying information in a window

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You were quick off the mark!
