Hey, thats interesting. Whats "inf"? 2008/9/26 George Tisdale <GTISDALE@tisdalecpa.com>: try let a$="abcdefg" print a$ let a$(inf:inf)="123456" print a$ no need to know the length of the string$ George L. Tisdale, CPA Tisdale CPA 75 Junction Square Drive Concord, MA 017...

Actually, all you have to do is say: let mystring$(99999:0)=texttoappend$ it works, try it. However, for "exactness" i usually say: let mystring$(len(mystring$)+1:0)=texttoappend$ BR has an excellent substring capacity that has features I've never seen in any other language. Gabriel 2008/9...

2008/9/25 charlie <charlie@tyroldata.com>: I've got a memory like an elephant and cannot write down the simplest things Question: How do I get the hints warnings and errors to show on the right side of the editor screen?

Right, but then I have to keep typing the underscore, which is annoying and also makes the Variable Names look funny. Surely it couldn't be too hard to just make BR ignore the case of my variables...

BR is not an object oriented language, and anyone who has ever programmed in an object oriented language can clearly tell you that BR is nothing like it. Nothing at all. Its not like comparing a Volkswagen to a new Ferrari. I don't like that metaphor because I don't think BR is a Volkswagen, and OOP...

Yes, the cool thing about doing it the way Visual Studio does is you can name your variables in whatever case you like, and the editor will preserve them. I have found a way around almost all the annoying interface problems of BR. I no longer have to worry about line numbers. I can use cleaner codin...

I've been asking Gordon for years to implement the RUIN command... RUIN is a common typo for RUN I think when someone accidentally types RUIN, BR should print out the message "Your program has been ruined." Gabriel 2008/8/28 Rickie Graham <rdgcss@attglobal.net>: I starting a petition for G...

BR uses the width of the characters for its unit. So if you want to right justify the following four numbers: 2.20 1.29 12.94 123.23 Then you use positioning statements to put it Six Characters to the left of where you want to right justify. Then you print your numbers padded to six characters, and ...

Sure its easy. Just: [POSITION] or print up to the start of your columns, use the [Right_Justify] command, and put [|] or chr$(5) at the end of your lines. I think the only thing that David Blankenship was missing is the [|]s. Gabriel On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 3:27 PM, Gabriel Bakker <gabriel.bakker@g...

From all this discussion, it sounds like its really easy to do right justify in NWP. Gabriel 2008/8/21 Rickie Graham <rdgcss@attglobal.net ( rdgcss@attglobal.net )> Wait for the .Net/Com interface that Gordon is promising. Then get a report design/generate .NET or COM add-in & let it handle of t...

You might have to do: [Decipos(whereever)] [align-right] [|]3.50 [|] [decipos(somewhere else)] [align-something else] In other words, you might have to use the invisible column separator [|] (which is CHR$(05) or HEX$(05) (the same character)), to tell BR where the column ends, so that it knows wher...

Thinking about it, I realise you probably want the example in a proportional font, duh! Here you go. The program that generates this output (copy and pasted directly from my editor) is: 00001 open #1: "name=preview:/",display,output 00002 ! 00003 print #1: "[Box][SetFont(Times)]"...

I just tested the example I gave and it produced the output in the attached files. I printed it to pdf, and I have attached the pdf. However, I also converted the pdf to a gif to make it easier to view if you want. I have attached both copies. The bottom three rows have only one column each, however...

The reason the cursor advances when you embed the | and [|] sequences is because Gordon wanted you to be able to draw your grids with |'s and have your grids just appear on the page the way you drew them. [Box] |Here is my First | and second Columns| |My invoice grid | is easy to make | | with NWP b...

I dont know why the forum keeps missing sending emails to you. I have noticed its been unusually quite these past couple weeks, I'm not sure if thats because the forums having problems, or because everyone's just been quiet lately. But I do get your emails, even the ones you send to the forum... So ...
