I have attempted to fix a few bugs in this program I offered latest. The update is in post #9 which is:

https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/showthre...4#pid12964


Unfortunately on Linux I came across a "don't want to work" type of situation in the "loaddraw2" subprogram. Upon getting a non-zero value for "ustrip" second parameter, it has to load the text file twice. The first time to search for underscores to determine which is the true left-hand margin of the picture, and the second to actually load and display the text-file image.

The search turns out 16 as the correct value for "x". The problem is that the block below the search doesn't want to execute the line with "mid$()". (shrugs).


Sending this at command line:

Code: (Select All)

$ ./quickdraw cooky.txt --strip

Use this as the input file (called "cooky.txt"):

Code: (Select All)

It was tried, near the very bottom of the whole source code:

Code: (Select All)

if ustrip then
        ff = freefile
        open afile for input as ff
        do until eof(ff)
            line input #ff, b$
            locate y, 1
                print mid$(b$, x);
            y = y + 1
            if y > 48 then exit do
        loop
        close ff
    else
        ff = freefile
        open afile for input as ff
        do until eof(ff)
            line input #ff, b$
            locate y, 1
                print b$;
            y = y + 1
            if y > 48 then exit do
        loop
        close ff
    end if

as well as:

Code: (Select All)

ff = freefile
    open afile for input as ff
    do until eof(ff)
        line input #ff, b$
        locate y, 1
        if ustrip then
            print mid$(b$, x);
        else
            print b$;
        end if
        y = y + 1
        if y > 48 then exit do
    loop
    close ff

So I need this tested on Windows to see if it works like it should.
