Where are the functions ending in an underscore "_"

Hi,

Question #1: Just purchased PureBasic today and now have 3.70 running. I keep seeing references to functions that end in an underscore, but can't find references to them. Example: GetCommandLine_

Question #2: What's the easiest way to verify that a file exists?

I know I'm starting a new learning experience and one of the major reasons for purchasing PureBasic was this forum! Thank you Num3 for those message references. They turned the tide!

I will try hard not to be a pest. 99% of what I will be doing is in console mode, so my questions will probably not be too hard.

Functions with underscores are windows API functions you can access directly (something like 600 are supported!).

Read this (pay attention to the win32.hlp link)

viewtopic.php?t=4876

also visit www.allapi.net and download their little reference program - it's a searchable index of a lot of the API commands (though not all of them!).

Q #2 is answered in the above link too

PureBasic kicks some serious....... Well, it's really nice.

True ! as the development of API-Guide is no longer supported

. However it's a very good piece of software... With cool examples, not too difficult to translate in purebasic.

Yea I was sad to see that the API Guide isn't going to be around much longer.. There is a win32.hlp file that contains almost all the API function I think.. I can't seem to remember the link off the top of my head but it's in the forum somewhere..

Good luck!
