Can you please tell us what the lib does?

Also can you please pack it with zip not exe, thanks

I've changed my first post to add the Function List

Droopy,

Thank you!
Your library has some handy functions.

A small request: Please change the name of the LogWrite() function.
It conflicts with the Dn_LogLib library.

Regards,
Eric

I think it's better to delete the Dn_LogLib from your PureBasic\PureLibraries folder

Because my Lib do the same things

hey this lib is a nice addition for beginners.!
btw i think the best way would be to make a prefix in front of all commands.
like Dl_command()

dl = droopyLibrary

That's what I did, but the Dn_LogLib does have some convenient date/time stamp and append options when the log file is opened. Would you consider adding these options?

Eric

Heh, I looked at the topic and saw "Script functions". I thought you meant, scripting functions. heh. Ah well, this IS a nice library!

Droopy · Post by **Droopy** » Mon May 02, 2005 6:12 pm

"LogWrite" always append text to the log file
If you don't want to append text, first delete the log file

"LogWrite" write time like DD:MM:YY HH:MM:SS + TextYouWant

Don't you think it's enough for log purpose ?

I changed the Topic to Scripting function : Sorry for my bad english

Droopy,

Thanks for the explanation of you library's logging functions. Yes, I think that's sufficient for most logging needs.
In fact, I just removed both of my user libraries that conflicted with yours, since you have many more useful functions.

Thanks,
Eric

Agree, UserLibraries should always use a prefix to avoid conflicts with other UserLibs and future official "Fred" new commands...

Very nice!

Droopy · Post by **Droopy** » Tue May 03, 2005 8:11 am

I don't like prefix, for example with prefix the Not function will be : Dl_Not()

It's too long for me !! I prefer Not()

If a function conflict with official new command, I'll delete the function.

Or you can do this by yourself with TailBite, I provide the source code ...

Hello,

OK u provide the sources, but it is too long to recompil the lib when u make a new version. And if someone make a code in the forum which use your lib, there will be unknown commands because of the modifications.
