[Gambas-user] How to make installation package

[Fernando Cabral]

I'd like to make an installation package to install a gambas program on a
machine that does not have gambas. I tried doing it clicking on
Project -> Make -> Installation package.
After presenting some questions, it runs and creates 22 files (regular,
.gz, dsc and deb files). Four of them a *.deb files. Now, here are the
issues:

1) They are all small files, so, for sure, they do not contain the
interpreter
2) trying to install the deb files results in nothing (no error message,
but nothing happens)

Is there a wiki page where I can get better information on how to do this?

[Gambas-user] What is the simplest way to display text properties in Gambas?

[Fernando Cabral]

I'd like to display text highlights like bold and italics. Can I do it
using TextArea? If yes, how?

If I can't which resource should I use?

Regards

Right again, Tobi. I can't understand how I missed this. Thank you.

Re: [Gambas-user] Mystery with file.load and regexp

In the beginning, I thought I File.Load() had an idiosyncratic behavior.
Then I understood that's not true. It just reads everything from the file
into the variable. So, it is good behavior when it brings in the last "\n".

Then I thought Split() had a strange behavior since it brought in something
that did not exist after the last separator, that is, an empty string.

Then, I discovered I was wrong on this account: if I have a separator as
the last real element, then after that what I have is an empty string. So,
I can't blame Split() for bringing it in. Unless I explicitly tell Split()
to drop it.

Yes, in this case, the bug was in my brain. It is called lack of knowledge
or faulty reasoning.

Thank you bb and Tony for showing me the light.

In your mail I can see three distinct attempts at writing down a
negative character class: [^[:alpha:], [^[alpha]], and [^[:alpha]],
but the correct syntax is

  [[:^alpha:]]

You want to check this first.
