Very simple single instance test

[Kaeru Gaman]

Blue,
sorry for getting you wrong and sounding harsh.
I also got "a little hot around the collar" (nice idiom, got to keep it)
when I saw your one sentence, it just came across like
"my code is so beautiful, if you put some work into it you might be able to see it."

...you're right, eol is much more conveniant to type than #CRLF$

I can understand what you mean with "hard to learn new tricks"...
I'm almost 40 and programming since 1982, so some of the newer concepts
are hard for me to understand, and so are some of the beginners' mistakes.

so, peace...

Hi,

Here is my little suggestion for "single instances".

Code: Select all

; Single instances
; 2008 Hroudtwolf
; PureBasic-Lounge.com
; PureBasic 4.x
; Windows (2000+)
Procedure CheckForSingleInstance ( sAppname.s )
[...]
EndProcedure
[...]

Best regards

Wolf

Wheww, Wolf: Creating a sentinel file?
That's a throwback to Fortran computing back in the 70's and 80's (previous century, remember?), on timeshared mainframes
That's the way we used to do it on the University's Vax.

Thanks for the contribution.

Speaking of which: when it rains, it pours.
I just love it...

Ah, ah!
I see you actually understood all along...
What I find hard to understand is not how people code, but how some people now write. :roll:

Are you sanely?

Are you sanely?

Referring to what in particular, Hroudtwolf ?
Just general behaviour ?
My wife says yes, but my neighbour (he's a shrink) probably disagrees.

But i'm curious: what in this thread would lead you to such a loaded conclusion ? (assuming, of course, that I actually understood it...)
