jj2007 The starting page for FreeBASIC is https://www.freebasic.net/ Then a new member would go to downloads/ files (as with most projects) Then on that page you have fbedit and fbide as editors to get started. I don't think the forum page would be an automatic starting point, although regular users...

I have some cross products here.

I think you'll need to get them from your repository. Here are the first few lines of fbgfx.bi #ifndef __fbgfx_bi__ #define __fbgfx_bi__ #inclib "fbgfx" #ifdef __FB_WIN32__ #inclib "gdi32" #inclib "winmm" #inclib "user32" #elseif defined(__FB_LINUX__) #libpath...

I believe basiccoder2 was interested in this.
He has some sort of device in his shed.

Thanks UEZ. This is approximately it with disphelper. #define UNICODE #include "windows.bi" #include once "disphelper/disphelper.bi" type Chars FBChars as IDispatch ptr declare function Text() as string end type type doc FBdoc as IDispatch ptr declare function TextLines() as Char...

What is the definition of a "mathematician" anyway?
Albert, you will have to go back thru circles and squares and rationalize your denominators tout suite.

Hi UEZ. Do you have a 64 bit disphelper?? I use the 32 bit version now and then. I note that powershell can extract info, but it cannot accept & in the string. However your link is free of ampersands. Probably powershell has yet to evolve some. Function pipeout(Byval s As String="") By...

Do you use the web page from UEZ?

Just copy and paste the address into the box and click OK

José, your code yields just "Online Color Constants version is v", for some reason. With the snippet below (using Extract$ ), I get "0.75", which seems more correct. include \masm32\MasmBasic\MasmBasic.inc Init Inkey Extract$(FileRead$("https://forum.qbasic.at/viewtopic.php...

Thanks UEZ, I got this to work. I note that the German site page is unicode only. I had to fiddle about a bit to get a title by this method: #include "file.bi" dim as string g g += "Const TriStateTrue = -1 ' forUnicode support"+chr(10) g += "URL = InputBox(""Enter ...

Welcome back Albert. Nice graphics. Your compressor could be aided by the surface waves. Screen 20 #define map(a,b,x,c,d) ((d)-(c))*((x)-(a))/((b)-(a))+(c) Dim As Single d,y Do d-=.01 Screenlock Cls For n As Long=0 To 1024 Var ypos=map(-1,1,Sin(n/75+d),600,700) Pset(n,ypos) If n=500 Then y=ypos Next...

Funny how some members are at the cutting edge of wanting to lock threads, they appear nearly every time, you could keep a book on it (bet). It is not a crime of course, and they are entitled to an opinion. For me it would be a very last resort to do this and I have never advocated it yet, and espec...

This is not GitHub though.

You could do it crudely. Function L(byval s As String,s1 As String="int ",s2 As String="integer ") As String 'SearchAndReplace Var position=Instr(lcase(s),s1),lens1=len(s1),lens2=len(s2) While position>0 s=Mid(s,1,position-1) & s2 & Mid(s,position+Lens1) position=Instr(po...

Maybe it is the modern way, certainly python can be used via dll(s) https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=27718&p=262155&hilit=%2Apython#p262155 Oxygen basic is a dll type compiler, Is Oxygen basic based on a freebasic dll? I remember something from a few years back, I thi...
