2RichardL:
On the German forum, there is some cool Win API code by ts-soft. I think that does what you are after.
I just tested the code here at home, and with the help of Hamachi I was able to browse the files on my PC in our office.

Procedure test() MessageRequester("test","test") ProcedureReturn #True EndProcedure a = 1 If a = 1 Or test() ; test() will be called MessageRequester("ok","ok") EndIf test is not called on my system (PB 4.30 x86 on Windows), so I can't reproduce your finding....

As another example, I've read that in Finnish there is the word "kaffiipausii" -- derived from German "Kaffepause" (coffee break). Where you read that? But i googled it: http://www.heute.de/ZDFheute/inhalt/2/0,3672,3983586,00.html Yes, that's exactly the source where I read it s...

Not "doppleganger" but "Doppelgänger". :lol: "doppleganger" or "doppelganger" is a German loanword , used in English. It is quite common that a loanword is not 100% identical to the word from which it derived. As another example, I've read that in Finnish the...

I'm still doubtful that the additional needed Memory within the StringPool is allocated correctly when you expand the string via a pointer... As far as I remember, I learned this method from a discussion on the German forum some time ago. IMHO the decisive point (no pun intended) is here, that it's...

Something like DaPointer is not needed. I'd do it like this: Procedure MyFunc1(*MyVar.String) ; pass string by reference Debug *MyVar\s For i = 0 To 4 *MyVar\s + "MyString123" Next EndProcedure Procedure MyFunc2(MyVar.s) ; pass string by value Debug MyVar MyVar = "MyString123" En...

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yeah, it's a bit mysterious. This problem is certanly verified. It also breaks my executables which were previously compiled and linked against the library. The problem is that Ubuntu does not correctly make a symlink in /usr/lib. At least this fixed it for me. ... Unfortu...

It seems that some people are interested in the difference between reality and fairy tales. But what is "reality"? How do you define "real"? Very good question ( as you certainly know yourself ... ;-) ). Many philosophers have written about it, and I think answering the question...

So what if the stories are fake.

The following code seems to work fine with integers on PB 4.30 and Windows XP 32 bit. Don't know about Quads. Procedure.i BitScanReverse (x.i) ; Return the number of the highest o...

How do I set a trigger? I've never used a plugin before In the IDE, choose from the menu "Configure Tools ...". In the window that appears click at the [ New ] button. Then there'll be an options window, which beside other things allows to select an "Event to trigger the tool". ...

2 PB and pdwyer:
I've now changed the code, so that continuation of an open string is no longer supported. That's really cleaner.
Thanks for discussing that issue!

I've posted a new version, the changes are mentioned in the comments at the beginning of the source code. The next version of the program hopefully will be able to handle include files. :D 2 Rook : Thanks! :-) 2 PB : I see. In the code on the picture that you posted, the line continuation works. It'...
