I could have swore I saw a post a while back stating that a reverse INSTR command was either introduced or someone created one but I am having no luck searching for it.

InStrRev (from VB) was quite handy and I find myself needing a QB64 equivalent.

Am I hallucinating? Is my age starting to show? Does anyone else remember this post?

-------- THERE IT IS ----------

UPDATE: I was just about to post this but decided one last time to search the Wiki using the VB name INSTRREV and there it was! The INSTR page in the Wiki makes no mention of INSTRREV. searching for INSTR in the Wiki takes you to the INSTR page with no way of seeing that INSTRREV exists.

Hi,

I have been using the following keyboard scancodes for awhile, but I can't get it to detect Ctrl-Alt-Delete at all:

I had a wee bug in my first prototype, and since I'm planning on doing all kinds of prototyping as I plan out an include library for the thing, I figured best to aggregate developments in one thread.


The fundamental PUTSTRING feature to graphically position a string on the screen:

• Run the program
  
• View the source code
  

• Run the program
  
• View the source code
  

• _LETCHR$ statement
  
• _GETCHR$ function
  

When I click the Utilities link from Code and Stuff here at Forum I get a Server Error:
   

I wonder if it's possible to get the C file functions working in QB64, specifically fopen, fprintf and fclose
I tried the following but it won't compile

Hello all,
Sorry but I've been away for a while and I'm locked with an old problem with QBPE64 3.6.0 that I just installed on a baremetal Acer Notebook.
After the installation, QB64PE starts normally and I can change the size of the IDE.
However, if I quit QB64PE then restart it later, I always get the following error message box:
 
Internal IDE Error
(module: ide_methods, on line: 18218)
< OK>

However, I can't even click on the OK button and I've only to quit QB64PE and I can't use it anymore.

I know this is an old problem and that it was solved when removing a configuration file but I can't remember what file it is and where it's located.

TIA for your help.
Cheers
Fifi

I was trying to send a correction reply to someone but it kept being sent to ME, arrgh

just for fun

Hello,

I just released a new version of SaveSound in my thread. It can also do something that hasn't been here before - save sound in 24 bit Wav format. On that occasion, I discovered that both SndOpen and SndPlay can play the created 24-bit WAV file, but unfortunately, MemSound cannot handle it. This also follows from the help for MemSound, where only 8, 16, 32 bit formats are written about. I recently found out how to create a 24 bit format very easily and I'm assuming you didn't know about this option and that's why it wasn't known.
