And also i think that any connection with scriptBasic should be removed from
OxygenBasic files , simply because there is no any benefit using this files .
The similar opinion i have about Thinbasic files, o2 should be more for oriented to himself.

by Zlatko

I second this move
This is true, it is pointless to keep a useless script basic

Also I second Eduardo's move to help VBA programmers to migrate to O2

Yes, being able to work on office documents with a separate VBA program is a great idea.
In fact I had asked how one could read / write on an xls / xlsx document.

Hi.
Please I would need to have accurate information on the commands / functions implemented with "CONSOLEG.INC"
I tried some examples, they are beautiful.
I'd like to add this help info ...
Charles, please ... 
Cheers

Dear Charles,
i was updating the help and i noticed that the examples related to
STRUCTUREOF
ENCODINGOF
RECORDOF
don't work.

Error: not defined
Word: r
line: 2

type vt long v,double d
dim as vt v : r=recordof v

Hi Nicola,

without #autodim enabled, r needs to be: dim as string r.

this is a current list of all the attributes from oxsc\lang.inc

[Charles Pegge]

In the early days, autodim was the default. This makes short demo code easier but it's a serious hazard for any project of significant scale.

[Nicola]

ok, then i will correct the example that is on the help.
Ciao

Hi Nicola,

If you still updating this help file, maybe you can adjust Asc()...

Code Select Expand


//asc() can be used not only as a function but as a statement also.
string  sString = "12345"
asc(sString, 3) = 120 // give "12x45" (120 is ascii for "x")


Many thanks for your work, it is really appreciated...

[Pierre Bellisle]

Also, inner is missing...

Regards

[Nicola]

Hi Pierre,
thanks for the info. I put it in the help. Sorry for the delay, but unfortunately things do not always go well.
If you have any other suggestions thank you.

Cheers

[Pierre Bellisle]

Hi Nicola,

Easy does it, no rush on my side.
I appreciate what you did, it's a nice gift.

Thanks again...

[Nicola]

Hi,
I posted an update on the help file. 

I have included notes on implementations related to the management of Arrays written by Charles Pegge from version P14.4.

Cheers
