I see PeekMessage isn't documented...

[9940]

MOVEFILE/MOVEDIR are needed 

function copy: a$, b$
copyfile a$, b$
killfile a$
endfunction

Yes, it works.. but if you have a huge file/dir it may take long time    
and may not be enough space

Pressing F1 on this command in the editor: GETLASTERROR$()
doesn't work. It won't go green in the editor either.

There is a link missing on the bottom of the help for GETLASTERROR$():
"See also NETGETLASTERROR$()"

And how do I start macros? Is it possible to pass the active gbas-file?s name and path to the macro?

[Kitty Hello]

ok, fixed the "won't go green" bug.
The manual text for me is:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


Returns an error code followed by a short text describing the last error.

Following the defiend error codes:

0 success
3 file does not exist
4 wrong argument
5 string is too long
7 not enough memory
8 wrong dimension
9 out of dimesioned range (makes the program end)
20 no more data available

See also NETGETLASTERROR$()

Not for you?

[Moru]

Yes, what I meant is that the "See also"-link isn't a link, usually you can just click the link to get to the command.

What does PlatformInfo$("") return on an iPhone ?

[Kitty Hello]

see manual for platforminfo$() ?

The macros are described in the manual: GLBasic intern/tools. It should be pretty straightforward when you execute the first one, it shows you the environment variables set.

[MrTAToad]

Platforminfo$ has :

"LINUX" = Linux operating system
"WIN32" = Windows Desktop (9x, NT, XP, 2003, ...)
"WINCE" = PocketPC
"GP2X" = GP2X
"MACOSX"= Mac OS X

Unfortunately the iPhone isn't detailed...

Yes I read that part but it says nothing about where to put those macro files or where/how to execute them. I have looked all over the tools menu and the buttons but there is nothing about macros?

[Kitty Hello]

Menu: Tools/Macro/Edit?
If it's not there, it's (again) a bug.

[MrTAToad]

Yes, its not there

[Schranz0r]

in the german version:

Top Menu:

Werkzeuge/Macros/bearbeiten/

It is not in the Popupmenu!

[Moru]

The GEN... commands don't feel intuitive, would it be better with FREESPRITE AND FREEFILE or something similar?

The description would be something like this:
Generate the next free index for a sprite or a file.

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

GLOBAL ball = FREESPRITE()
LOADSPRITE "ball.png", ball
DRAWSPRITE ball, 50, 50


I have realy been looking forward to this command :-)

[MrTAToad]

The online documentation is a bit clearer with it

But yes, GENx does seem a bit of a strange name to give it...

[Moru]

for me NEWSPRITE creates a new sprite, not a handle :-)
