	Well, the VBS_EVAL_STR$ doesn't do what I need. I want to do this: dim myvar$ myvar$ = "somestring" function myfunction$(whatstring) function =...
41977		brother.gabriel	Jul 1, 2011 2:27 pm
	How can I do this? I know I could make a sort of "switcher" function using select case to do this, but then I have to have all the functions listed in the...

	... Here's a rewrite of what I think you want to do along with an additional way. $typedef char * (__cdecl STF_TYPE)(char ) SET pfStringFunctions[] AS...
41979		brother.gabriel	Jul 1, 2011 10:52 pm
	Mr. Halsdorf - thank you! Now I shall have to understand what is happening. I shall need to add parameters to the "do" functions too. I think, maybe, in...
41980		wmhalsdorf	Jul 1, 2011 11:25 pm
	... The key to all of this is the $typedef directive. $typedef char * (__cdecl STF_TYPE)(char ) char * - what the function returns (__cdecl...
41981		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 1:27 am
	I think I understand something. (__cdecl STF_TYPE2) --> is the function name (char) or (char, char) --> are the parameters $typedef char* --> is where we...
41982		wmhalsdorf	Jul 2, 2011 1:50 am
	... You have the basic idea of how to do it. If you need any more help let me know....
41983		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 2:25 am
	This seems funny to me. ... (I shouldn't need to write a function for reverse$ when BCX already has it...) $typedef char * (__cdecl STF_TYPE)(char ) dim...
41985		magic_user_68	Jul 2, 2011 2:02 pm
	Since BCX is compiled and not interupted, the c code will only include commands that you have used. I suggest you make a dummy function or sub that uses...
41986		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 2:27 pm
	Well, I found this in BCX help: BCX is able to correctly translate a parameter formed from a call to a FUNCTION or SUB as in this example. SUB WalkDir(szPath$,...
41987		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 2:44 pm
	Okay, I understand that. That makes sense to me - that it would have to be included in the BCX code in order for it to appear in C. We are, after all, sort...
41988		wmhalsdorf	Jul 2, 2011 3:44 pm
	... Close, you missed the needed function to make it work. Compare the two. $typedef char * (__cdecl STF_TYPE)(char ) dim sentence$ sentence$ = "This bud's...
41989		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 3:54 pm
	Mr. Halsdorf, I know - that was a typo, actually - I realized that after I posted. I finally go it, however - mr. Magic told me what I was missing....
41990		magic_user_68	Jul 2, 2011 4:00 pm
	Check this out! More simple way to do it. - Scott ... dim sentence$,changed$ sentence$ = "This bud's for you." changed$ =...
41991		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 4:05 pm
	Uh, that gives me a compile error: test1.c(240): warning #2154: Unreachable code. test1.c(265): error #2140: Type error in argument 1 to 'strlen'; expected...
41992		magic_user_68	Jul 2, 2011 4:10 pm
	It works in LCC, I will try to fix it for Pelles, will post when I get it working. - Scott...
41994		magic_user_68	Jul 2, 2011 6:45 pm
	I got it to work in Pelles by using what Wayne gave us. Created my own farproc command with typedef. If you use commands other than reverse you need to make...

	Kevin & Doyle: I have a copy of BCXIDE on a thumbdrive. It works OK except that when it runs, it always looks for the BCX directory on my PC's hard drive, not...
41996		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 7:50 pm
	Mr. Magic, that works like a charm. It looks like we are declaring a type like Mr. Halsdorf offered us, then, instead of including every bcx function...

	... Hi Don: From the thumbdrive folder holding the BCX .exe type bc.exe -r When you want to change it back, type bc.exe from whatever folder is holding the...

	How can I find out the length of an array? Also, is there no way to create an array that will grow to fit its contents?...

42003		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 9:21 pm
	Hey, you all, the source of the help file, are more than helpful! If I am able to add anything to BCX, if in the least, by finding little things like this,...
42004		Doyle Whisenant mecsoftware	Jul 2, 2011 11:46 pm
	... See : UBOUND will return the largest value of an array subscript. This only works with single dimensioned, static arrays. Also, is there no way to create...
42005		brother.gabriel	Jul 2, 2011 11:57 pm
	Yes, I was looking at UPBOUND - but I don't need the largest value of any of the elements - I just need the total number of elements. Am I misunderstanding...
42006		brother.gabriel	Jul 3, 2011 12:07 am
	Okay, I already know about redim. Consider this - I want to run a string through a split command, but I don't know beforehand how many elements the split will...
42007		John Spikowski johnspikowski	Jul 3, 2011 12:52 am
	... I feel your pain with languages that require pre-dimensioning. I used SPLITA in the word count code challenge and it created an array of every word in the...
