Hi,
I'm "sniffing" around PureBasic and can't find the print menu?
What am I embarrassing not seeing...
Cheers
Ivan

Are you literally looking for a print item in the menu of the IDE - or do you mean something else?
Printing out source code is usually pointless - you can't edit it, debug it or execute it. So the IDE doesn't bother with a provision.
Having said that if you really must print it out, a source code file is just an ordinary text file so you can open it in your favourite text editor and print from there.

Yes - I was looking for printing source code from the IDE. Some times I like to have source code on paper and taking notes from idears when I'm not near a computer. I like to concentrate in silence and not having disturbings of any kind.
I'm a dinosaur that like to read from paper (recycled).

If you are running PureBasic on Windows you can use the HardCopy tool.
http://www.reelmedia.org/pureproject/ar ... rdcopy.zip
Small tool to print hard copies of source code from the PureBasic IDE.
Simply add it as a tool to the IDE and you can quickly print using CTRL-P
Setup instructions are in the ZIP file.

Tanks Paul - works fine.
Is it possible to change certain items like disabling top and bottom info and font?
Regards
Ivan

Paul, does your tool embed the source of IncludeFiles at the appropriate spots, instead of just having the "IncludeFile" command there? So I can print one entire expanded source? If not, please consider this a feature request (thanks).
