Looks like that could be correct Steve. I'm then left with why an xst load string array from a file works on windows and not on linux. Having said that though...
I've just had fun with \ generating a very precise error message telling the user exactly what to do. I had inconsistent behavior too. Use CHR$(n) where n is...

... XBasic is not multi-threaded. Naturally if an error occurs then a function won't complete, so I suppose you might technically call that "returning before...

OK I fiddled about with David's program a bit used maxLen to format the output and added a bit of code to save the output to a disk file. I like the way he...
Hi Peter. Did you have any luck indirectly calling your send and receive functions in your main program from your DLL's? If not, I could add to that last...
Well, I tried doing what I described, with the Polling() function and all that - it didn't work because the program flow doesn't seem to make it back to the...
Well this results in the date of January 1 1601 FOR x = 0 TO upper ifile$= file$[x] : a = LEN(ifile$) ifile = OPEN (ifile$, $$RD) bytes = LOF (ifile) : bytes$...

So I need to run XstGetFilesAndAttributes to load up the fileinfo array? Looking at display variables showed actual valve rather than the "0"s that I expected...
Exactly. Presumably you ran XstGetFilesAndAttributes elsewhere, but didn't assign anything to fileTime$$. Though I also note that your loop variable here is x,...
Since we are able to access the filesize from an opened file I thought that other attributes (like the date time stamp might also be available. So far using...

I sent the last update to XstFindFiles to the list for comment. I won't say it is finished (is there ever a finished program??<g>) Over all it does the job I...
Won't work because the default type on operations matches the largest operand. Old versions of BASIC did everything as decimals. Since both i and 1000 are...
