Re: [Gambas-user] C Code character manipulation - alternatives
KhurramM ha scritto: Thanks Sir. You have given me tips better then the book I am following on C. :working: My two queries: 1 Can I implement ctrl+D or ^D, which I am not able to here, as in C? 2 The program works with INPUT and LINE INPUT. But Line Input also takes blank space as input, while INPUT ends the program over here. And I use string here, but in C it was integer? --- Just for reference: Well I made my program final as: PUBLIC SUB Main() ' Declare AND initialize variables. DIM c, count AS Integer DIM c1 AS String ' READ , PRINT , AND count characters. PRINT Enter characters (or Press Carriage Return to quit): LINE INPUT c1 count += Len(c1) WHILE (c1 )' This is the best solution PRINT c1 LINE INPUT c1 count += Len(c1) WEND ' PRINT the number OF characters printed. PRINT count characters printed. END I put the following code in a program; the code is invoked by pressing Button1: PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click() ' Declare AND initialize variables. DIM c, count AS Integer DIM c1 AS String ' READ , PRINT , AND count characters. PRINT Enter characters (or Press Carriage Return to quit): WHILE NOT Eof LINE INPUT c1 PRINT c1 count += Len(c1) WEND ' PRINT the number OF characters printed. PRINT count characters printed. END Running the program inside the IDE, and using the internal console, no EOF is generated, but your version (which tested for empty lines) worked. Then I made an executable (Project menu - Generate - Executable) and launched it from a terminal. It runs correctly; you repeatedly type some text + ENTER, or you type Ctrl-D. The behaviour is correct and, as I was supposing, no Ctrl-D is detected inside the line input, but it is if you type ^D alone. As the routine is invoked every time Button1 is pressed, I tried to press Button1 again: after the first ^D no more characters are detected. This makes sense, because you cannot go past the EOF... Then I launched the following shell command: echo ciao |./dand.gambas Doing so, the standard input for the program is redirected elsewhere (the output of the echo command). The program works as expected - it counts 4 characters and senses the EOF correctly. Now, I suppose you are disappointed by INPUT and LINE INPUT, which are multi-char statements. If you want to process single characters, then you must use the READ statement (perhaps there is also a INKEY$) -- see the docs. Anyway, gambas does not have chars like C - you can use strings (of length 1); the ASC() function returns the numerical code of a character, and CHR() returns a char (a string of len 1) by giving its ascii code. There is no character to designate EOF - you must use the Eof() function. If you want to be a real gambas programmer, stop to put parenthesis around tests, like while (c1...)! :-) If you have a goal in mind, perhaps could be better you tell it, so we can help you more precisely.

[Gambas-user] Using masks
I want to enhance the look of my application. I need some instructions about the masks. I have some ideas, but need confirmation. 1. So if I have a form sized 1024x768, and I want to create skins for it, I'll have to create a same sized .png image with transparent areas over the text boxes, buttons and other components? 2.

You need to read that message carefully again. Rob is almost right with his statement. First you need to know in the windows world the differences between W98, XP and Vista. when you write a program for one of those versions it does not work out the box in one of the other 3. hmmm yes I know it can work sometimes but there is no garanty. I wrote a programm with the WMP SDK71 on W98 and that does not work on the others. Simple because MS changed something in the background for XP, Vista not tried. This was using a binary package installer as you prefer. The source can also be compiled for XP and Vista. I do have 3 packages and 3 times the size to use for the simple 1 file installer for the same program. If we do the same for linux programs you must understand there are over 100 different distributions, name them w98,w98se,me,xp,vista,2000,nt. Yes some are constructed from a master like Debian is used for the ubuntu series. Mandriva for i.e. PCLinux2007, RedHat for fedora, Centos, etc. In MS Window terms the Home, Premium, Ultimate etc. Let say we support ten of those master systems, we need ten times the size of our full program. Your mentioned 35MB was for ONE distribution, so we need 350MB now, half a CD. (the source is less then 20MB ATM usable for all ten systems and children of them) Now comes the support to get a working system. We need the 4 most used Database engines. Some PDF, XML and network support as i.e. Curl. Everey one of the 10 master distributions compiles these on there likes for ordering in the disk map, the configuration and possible options. Just a number but let say for a system you need 50MB to support this in compiled form. Now the 10 master distributions need 10 times 50MB as 500MB (almost a full CD) (the source is less then 50MB and usable for all ten systems and children of them) These support may already be installed by the distribution or are available for installation as binary packages, and full supported for bug fixes by them. If the guy that makes a program like gambas should do the way you want he must deliver a file with a size for all code: 35MB gambas compiled x 10 = 350MB 50MB support compiled x 10 = 500MB some setup program and total 850MB at least. Give HIS support on the supporting code DB,PDF,XML and network stuff. Noway he will or can do this. Do you release your program with this as requirement? He wil never have enough time to live anymore or to make his application (gambas). Second: this file will be picked up by major sites as Download.com and snapfiles and many insecure sites( for dismanteling and add malware/virus and repacked) for the simple windows to linux jumpers that doeds want the easy way without thinking. Third: When I want to jump to an other linux distribution it is simple a few commands to make a working version again. For my WMP application, having the source you can change the function name changed between W98 and XP and recompile to get it working again. Binary delivery is only usefull if it is done for a specific distribution by that distribution or the programmer head/leader. This is a safe place to get the program and for new people starting with linux the distributions repository is the onle safe place anyway. For programmers it should not be a problem to compile a fresh new release of the developer program used for creating there own programs, they need to compile there own programs to. (not every program language has a IDE to do it) Do not see the figures and conditions as absolute but as indication what is involved in the total process to do a job as you prefer (or did after read this). It shows why source delivery and prefers this way in the linux world. I do also follow your thread about the C/C++ based character input. You can be a good programmer for applications now in C/C++ but do not understand the working and background of C/C++, only your programs. Porting a C program source to Basic source is not simple copy/past the code and in the editor using the replace function to change the C statements text to Basic words. You need to understand what the specific C statement does and find the Basic statement to do the same thing. The grammar/syntax between both languages are also different. PUBLIC SUB Main() ' Declare

To do that, most of the pages were moved to the wiki - pages that are generated cannot go to the wiki. Everything is in a new project located in /trunk/app/src named MakeWebSite (original, isn't it?). This project generates the HTML pages in all specified languages from HTML templates where string to be translated are marked. To do the translation, just translate the MakeWebSite project as any other Gambas project. You need a subversion write access to commit your changes, so ask me if you don't have one. News can be translated too, provided that you add the news html files to the /news/ project directory, where is your language code. You don't have to run the project. If you do it anyway, it will generate the HTML directly inside the project directory. But as these generated files are not versioned, they will never be committed. Note that not all strings are marked yet, and some pages will move to the wiki. To translate the pages located in the wiki, just go to the wiki. If you want to translate the website to a new language, just tell me and I will add it to the project, with the corresponding flag. And of course if you want more details, ask!

Re: [Gambas-user] Gambas Scripting Language - Some Questions
Yes, the gb.xml is installed on my system, it is visible under the tab COMPONENTS. Actually, I have the Gambas application that runs this example, and works fine as an application. 2009/5/21 Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net 2009/5/18 Benoît Minisini gam...@users.sourceforge.net Hello all, I have some questions about the scripting language. I need a little help. Question Thanks in advance, and have a nice weekend. The scripter works by creating a temporary project from your script, by compiling it, and by running it. The compiled project is cached so that it is used immediately if you run the script again. So: 1- The gbs2 scripter only have access to the gb. internal native class? No, it can use any component. 2- How can I use other components as the gb.XML? By using the special instruction USE. For example: USE gb.xml,gb.xml.rpc 3- Why my scripts dont run directly even when I am including the first line #!/usr/bin/env gbs2? Two possible reasons: - The gbs2 symbolic link does not exist. - It exists, but is not in a directory specified in your PATH environment variable. 4- How can I pass arguments to the script? Just pass them: $ MyScript A B C Regards, -- Benoît Hello again, I am trying to run this script base on what you guys suggest me, however I received the following error message: MMain.GenerateFiles.234: This component doesn't exist : gb.xml 0: MMain.GenerateFiles.234 1: MMain.MakeVirtualProject.140 2: MMain.Main.61 Is gb.xml installed on your system?
