Hallo!
I am building an English to German dictionary database today as CSV, but want to convert to SQLite and for this reason I have downloaded PureBasic.
I am not a programmer but a writer. The writing I do is in English and I wish to translate some of my texts into German.
Any members who are using SQLite with PureBASIC and wish to share expeiences with me, then I would be pleased to have contact with them. If there are any freely available programs from which I could learn then I would be happy to hear of them.
Hope to have contacts.
Kind regards, forkinpm.
My reason for PureBasic
Re: My reason for PureBasic
Are you sure you want to start with programming a dictionary database as a programming beginner?
I mean for a beginner you should make a calculator or maybe a text processing program but not such a bigger project...it could get really frustrating for you I think.
And by the way I think there should be some freeware applications that do what you want...

If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!
Re: My reason for PureBasic
Many of us use SQLITE3. If you do a search you should find some examples.
Fangbeast probably has as much experience and has provided more examples than anyone.
He is always will to help out beginners too. He got me started and has helped continuously.
Aren't there translations routines you could use without writing your own? Might be easier (but not as much fun
)
cheers

Re: My reason for PureBasic
Hallo!
You can be sure that I do my research before I attempt anything.
NO and NO again, there are no dictionaries that offer what I am finalising in the dictionary being built.
I should also add that having the right dictionary structure, the right database tool and the right lookup scripts, simplifies the process to code. Of course it presupposes that the language chosen has been developed by someone who had some idea of what a user might want to do.
I also do have a text editor which has support for XBLite.
The model I have built also operates manually.
So why should I not try?
Is PureBasic a product or language I should use to do what I want?
Have you now any better suggestion than those in your first response?

Re: My reason for PureBasic
c4s just meant, your project is not really a beginner's project.
PureBasic is not too difficult, even for beginners.
the most important tweak for windows GUIs is, you have to think Procedural to solve your Eventmanagement.
PB is capable of communication via SQL, and kann read and interprete XML, so you have possibilities enough.

Start from the help file and the SQLite examples.forkinpm wrote:Hallo!

A very good material for the beginner programmer you can find at Purebasic Survival Guide.
It covers the most important topics in programming with Purebasic.
Will also help you the PureBasic source code repository and archive
And for the SQL part, do not forget to visit w3schools to learn the SQL language.
And always you can search into forum. It is very helpful.
Good luck with your project.
Regards.

Re: My reason for PureBasic - some additional comments
Hallo and
Thank you all for the responses.
Let me make a few comments to perhaps prod you or others into responding.
I do most of what I do in the text world around the concept of creating model.
These I develop from very simplistic tables created as csv file tables.
Generally I experiment with these until I am able to derive my outline structure
to create database tables.
Is my way in to PureBasic possible by using CSV, and putting such tables into arrays?
If this is the case are there any simple routines with which I could experiment?
By the way the survival guide seemed a very useful document so I have downloaded it.
For any more help during my learning phase I am eternally grateful.

Could you give a screenshot example of what are you doing with csv files? It will help to understand your existing program's logic.forkinpm wrote:Hallo and

Re: My reason for PureBasic
Hallo Thanos!
Thank you for replying.
Tomorrow I will produce for you a one page description of the role of the csv files.
If it is understandable I will send it. If is is not then I will have to think about how to react.
Why am I being hesitant? The reason is that the idea is valuable and I would like to be the first on the ball-park with my idea.
I will in any event get back to you and we will dialogue until I can give you enough and we can get to an arrangement.
Maybe we could do some work together on the platform.
Thanks and regards, forkinpm.

Re: My reason for PureBasic
Hallo Thanos!
is this forum as child-like as it appears to a newcomer to be?
I can find no way to attach a zip to a message and no access to a help page to tell me how to.
Please tell me what I should do to send you the "one-pager" as a zipped attachment as I had promised.
Regards forkinpm.

Re: My reason for PureBasic
the is no in-forum upload space here.
you can put your zip on a filesharer and link it here.
preferably on one with not too much ads.
e.g. try http://uploaded.to/

Hallo Thanos!
We could avaoid the hassle if you gave me an email address to which I could send you the one-pager.
Please do.
