Re: How detect memory leak / overflow
Hm... Maybe you could try to call the freedos - statement MEM via the FB - SHELL - command? Only a suggestion. No clue if it works.

Re: Specialty serial program
In my input code, 'input "Port:',newPort', the expected input should be "XXXX", meaning that it is a string, in quotes. Is their a way to take in XXXX and have that converted to "XXXX", a string to be sent. There is more than one place now where I have to keep putting somet...

Re: findAndReplace function
Not sure how to do this is ASM because the output string may be bigger or smaller than the input string. For that you have to calculate and allocate the theoretically maximal amount of memory before replacing the string. Afterwards you can resize it to the real length. I recoded your function, in F...

Re: How detect memory leak / overflow
Hello Cpcdos!
Put the statement FRE into your program at an appropriate place, let the program run and watch the value. If it becomes less and less and less... you probably got a memory leak.

Re: Specialty serial program
In principle you are right, but in this case it will be indifferent. In fact, it would be sufficient to dim xbee as UByte, for a file number can't be greater than 255.

Re: Specialty serial program
Simply use variables instead of explicit numbers:So, a command would look like writeStr(xbee,"Did you get this?"), instead of writeStr(#1,"Did you get this?")
Code: Select all
Dim As Integer xbee
xbee = FreeFile
...
<open the port as #xbee>
...
writeStr(xbee,"Did you get this?")- Jan 09, 2017 11:20

Maybe this may work (not tested due to lack of cyrillic text file): #Include Once "utf_conv.bi" ScreenRes 800,600,32 Dim As Integer i,j,k,numberOfBytes Dim s As String Dim As ZString*2 dest, src Open "c:\russian.txt" For Input Encoding "utf-8" As #1 numberOfBytes = 1 Do...

Re: How to use SAPI for speech?
It looks like, changing the voice requires you to use "GetVoice" to find available voices That's not quite correct. "GetVoice" returns the properties of the currently used voice in a ISpObjectToken - structure. To browse the available voices (no clue if there are any by default)...

Re: Controlling a CD/DVD drive
I don't know. The only thing I ever did by myself via FB is to open and close the tray using mciSendString. For any other CD - operations I use a nice little command line program called "cdrdao". But it seems to me that both the mciSendString and the IOCTL_ method will work fine once you f...

Re: Controlling a CD/DVD drive
Of course it is, although maybe only partly....and which seems not to be translated into FB.
Go to http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23622, download and unpack the zip - file and look for "cdrom_ioctl.bi".

Re: Question about a question mark??
The space wasn't used as delimiter in C64 code. Instead, every character sequence matching a keyword was tokenized. So you could write code like FORX%=1TO10:?X%:NEXT (without any space) and it would work. On the other hand you were not allowed to use variable names containing any keyword sequence li...

Re: Cannot find any IDE
Sorry, I wasn't aware of that, I vow reform.
You're right, I'm using FBIde 1.0.7.6c myself, and as far as I remember (although I'm not sure, so many years after) it came with the FB automatic installation package.
