Ok, I'm not really a beginner at basic...just at Purebasic
Anyway, I'll be darned if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong here:
Code: Select all
Structure ModStructure
ModName.s ; Name of the mod (internal) Max 20 characters
ModSize.l ; File\memory size
Channels.b ; 4,6 or 8
EndStructure
PBMod.ModStructure\ModName.s = "blahblah"
I get the odd "garbage to end of the line" error message (whatever that means!
). Is there a way to initialize a new type that isn't mentioned? I even tried Dim'ming the PBMod type but got the same error.
In BB, they must be 'created' first:
Code: Select all
Type ModStructure
Field Name$
Field Size
Field Channels
End Type
BBMod.ModStructure = New ModStructure
BBMod\Name$ = "blahblah"
Anyone know why I'm getting this error?
Thanks

Just wanted to point out that the actual Structure has many more elements than I'm showing here for simplicity.

write:
Code: Select all
Structure ModStructure
ModName.s ; Name of the mod (internal) Max 20 characters
ModSize.l ; File\memory size
Channels.b ; 4,6 or 8
EndStructure
PBMod.ModStructure
PBMod\ModName = "blahblah"

Channels.b ; 4,6 or 8
EndStructure
PBMod.ModStructure\ModName="blahblah" ; <--- ModName without type

Whew! Thanks, guys, I knew it was something simple
(I guess I know what the 'garbage to the end of line' means now - the '.s'. Although a message such as 'Unnecessary type attachment on Structure element' or something would be easier to understand...
And speaking of type suffixes, once I declare a variable as, say '.w', can I now refer to that variable without the '.w'? (I guess I could try it and see, eh?
)
Thanks again,
Russell

Yes, with one declaration, the compiler remember the type.
