GETfilepart()?

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

GETfilepart()?

Post by Trond »

In general if there is not both Get and Set, the Get is removed from the command name. But GetFilePart() and friends has a get even when there is no Set. I suggest to remove the Get or add Set variants (would be handy).

Or merge all of those commands (Get Extension, Path, File Part) into one, as in GetURLPart.

"get" is shorter than "extract"...
and it's not wrong anyway.
oh... and have a nice day.

Fred said that in general, if there is no "set" then they remove the "get". But they didn't in this case. So when looking for this command I didn't find it in the autocomplete because I forgot the get.

I.e.
GetGadgetText(
SetGadgetText(
, but only
ListSize() (not GetListSize())
