Thanks Mobeus,

Yea, I finally figured that part out my sloppy coding

I think I have it working now, however, I need the program to wait, halt, or stop until the MSGDIALOG decision is made (ie. wait until either the 'yes' or the 'no' button are pushed; or the window is closed indicating not to delete the record)

At present, it continues execution while the MSGDIALOG is present, continuing on to the 'END SUB'. Here is what I have atm (kmv is now being returned ):

Hey all,

Well, after a couple of days working at it, I finally got the result I was looking for. Here is how I got the program to 'pause' until the MSGDIALOG button was pressed:

Hey guys,

Finally completed my first BaCon prog! Wo0h0o!

@L18L

Thought you might want to give it a look over with the international finished on it (I hope ). So here's the whole thing, the prog, the code, and the '.pot' file. Hope you like it! Fair warning, the code is going to be repdative and at times jumpy - but like I said, my first in Bacon

Thanks!

Dear all,

I have been doing a bit of label and svg coding recently and most of the examples are at http://basic-converter.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=doc&action=display&thread=314&page=3.

I was impressed with SFR's recent DYCP script and did a BaCon port/mod. Here is the source and a Lucid 32-bit binary.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hey L18L

Thanks for the review.

Hi E,

I'm a little surprised that it builds on slacko. Using the latest bacon beta and hug.bac here I get the same compile error as L18L, and it should.
There is no TYPE STR in bacon, it's TYPE STRING.
After changing those it builds fine.

Regards,
Mobeus

Hey guys,

no, it's not Racy, it's Precise

As you can tell, i'm not accustomed to making "international" programs...didn't think about the wording and the different lengths, my bad

I guess i'm telling my age as the saying goes...the 'TYPE STR' comes from a basic long ago Rather surprised it compiled using just that. Thanks for the heads-up!

I have noticed one 'bug' issue - and i'm sure it's in my coding somehow. When you add multi-records (more than two or three) and then try to remove one, it either crashes or removes the entire database Am working on that now, but can not seem to remember/figure out how to remove a certain record and re-assign the remaining ones. ( i.e remove record #3 of a 5 record list). Hopefully I will have it figured out soon (thinking of doing it in another 'while,wend' statement), but, meanwhile, any input would be appreciated

Thanks again for the inputs !

Can anyone suggest a fix for this please? I'm executing a shell command to search for a named file starting from "/".

If I execute the following line in a terminal it works as expected:

find / -name icon.xpm -and -not -path /proc

but if filename$="icon.xpm" and I do the following in a BaCon program, the find command still looks in /proc (and returns no such file/directory errors)

command$ = "find / -name " & filename$ & " -and -not -path /proc"
result$=EXEC$(command$)

I've also tried putting /proc in quotes (both by escaping double quotes and using CHR$) and using "proc" and even "/proc/*" both with and without quotes.

I've looked into -prune as an alternative but I'm struggling to understand it at present!

Cheers

Paul

Dear Paul,

This code, which is yours, compiles fine and runs OK, i.e. no errors:

If I run the code many times with different filenames I start to get errors like this:

find: `/proc/24007': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/24008': No such file or directory
find: `/proc/24009': No such file or directory

Just in case you haven't noticed, the program/problem is explained in these two threads..

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85526
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85563

Basically I'm extracting menu entries from .jwmrc and writing them out to a file in Fluxbox format. The new file is created properly (including the icon filenames) but these errors are annoying!

Many thanks,

Paul

If I`m not mistaken, isn`t CONCAT$ required to combine literal and variable strings in Bacon?
