hard work but finding the information

Hi there,

I am new to PureBasic and gave myself a simple project to solve to learn as much as possible quickly. I ran into a few problems, converting floats to strings without losing the decimal was a good one but i have searched the forums and managed to find the answers piece by piece. The help file was also very helpful :idea:

I should say i am using the console rather than windows at the moment but so far the information is there which is really great. I have not programmed for a while but you never forget how to do it. Sometimes you just need a reminder.

One of the reasons i selected this dialect was the number of platforms covered. Amazing for the price.

Hi Blackstone:

Look at the PureBasic String section in Help.

Use StrD for doubles
and StrF for singles

You will find the help section very good.

Thank you for your good advice. I keep the help section open all of the time now.

Thank you for the download link. It looks like a little treasure trove.
