Same question. How do you know if the executed program/command returns an errorlevel?

And rc being a string, would return the output of the command or the error text if it fails.

And how would the user differentiate between those two options?

Maybe the importlib stub changes calling convention?

Afaik you can do python communication more highlevel through a dll. See e.g. https://wiki.freepascal.org/Python4Delphi

So it should be the matter of translating the header and figuring out some examples

Disclaimer: I don't use python, this is just from my saved urls stash.

Hmm, possibly also a bit of a wave in people's habits. In the (first) lockdown period, the Lazarus forums were very busy too, but now they are also fairly calm.

jj2007: yeah, the openstreet GIS stuff is particularly hairy.

BadIdea: quite ironic, considering that "Holland"'s etymologically comes from Holt-Land, iow wood-land.

Now that I've made the point clear, I would like to ask you guys a few things: - Have you ever been criticised this way? All the time. It doesn't help that I'm on a development platform (Delphi) that is notorious for its very conservative one-man shops. - Do you personally feel a natural aversion t...

(fyi
.pp is already in use for Free Pascal (originally meaning something like pascal plus) and the build tool stuff "puppet".

It is easier to pick an unique extension that you can claim on github, ohloh etc)

Actually they are afaik "thiscall" which is a method version of stdcall.

strncmp is C99.

Actually it is more like a tree mapped to an array, since it has O(log(n)) lookup behaviour.

But the point is that it can be instantiated statically (as a constant). I use such lookup tables a lot.

Or don't make an array of strings but an array of structs with an index and a string. To read a value, make a small func to binsearch the array for the index field to match x and then return the string

Which can be interpreted in three ways: 1. ugly but correct - it's a Windows "feature" Definitely not, it is a feature of the MSVCRT runtime, not necessarily windows (kernel32/user32) 2. ugly and incorrect - as a coder, I want to decide myself what to do with the commandline 3. ugly but i...

I reread the thread in more detail (and better separating old from new posts), and indeed vs does interpret quotes.

testprogram "C:\Documents and Settings\Zippy\"

prints trailing "

Ugh
