hope: for If, add =(),>(),<(),>=(),<=(),<>()
Example:
If a=(b Or c) ;parity:
If a=b Or a=c

If its even an option. I've seen this in scripting languages way back when I started on Internet in the late 1990's.
When I started working with PB, really missed such conveniences. I actually still do miss..
+1 for me
...edit: I actually want to give it +1000 to actually get the ball rolling.

That turns into unreadable code...
Code: Select all
procedure orEqs(a.s, b.s, c.s)
if a=b or a=c
procedureReturn True
endif
procedureReturn False
endProcedure ; orEqs(a.s, b.s, c.s)

Looks like a nice shortcut:
Code: Select all
; PB today
If theVariable=123 Or theVariable=456 Or theVariable=789
; Do something
EndIf
; Operator =()
If theVariable=(123 Or 456 Or 789)
; Do something
EndIf
Not sure it makes sense with <() and >() etc.?
Code: Select all
If theVariable>(123 Or 456 Or 789)

pb not enlist them all now.
Code: Select all
;a=8:b=8
If a=(b Or d):Debug 8:EndIf;show 8
but
Code: Select all
a=8:b=8
If a=(b Or d):Debug 8:EndIf;show no

Hi,
I do have objections against these shortcuts.
All kind of Software Quality literature plead for strict style guides to restrict these shortcuts that decrease the readability of the code.
So if we do not have these shortcuts, the readability and the better understanding is given, thus code reviews have less objections.
Maybe this view will not be shared by the majority....
Greetings

i requested this years ago, without the ( ) though:
Code: Select all
If Foo = 1, 2, 34 To 56, 78 Or Bar = 9
its basically like a more flexible Select:Case.
c ya,
